A “Cherry Hunt” Yes, we know it already sounds fun. You literally are going on a Cherry Hunt among our Locally Businesses in our community. Find the cherries all over town and you will be entered into the drawing for each successful hunt, you may even see Big Foot while you are here too. Winners will be drawn on August 2st!. 

While you are here, you need to say that you have been in the OLDEST Bookstore in Oregon, Klindt’s Booksellers. An ADVENTURE must is our National Neon Sign Museum, truly a one-of-a-kind!  How about an Oregon Winery that used to be a Flour Mill, Sunshine Mill, is rich with history and you can even watch a drive-in movie on the mill! If it’s a mouthwatering food experience with a VIEW that you want, then Bargeway Pub has it all. Enjoy incredible food, live music, and enjoy the spectacular Columbia River waterfront view!
