Woohoo! I would love to go to Cider Fest, I love drinking cider and think playing yard games while listening to live music sounds like so much fun!
Would be absolutely amazing to go! Just tried hard cider this past fall and loved it!🍎couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy a Saturday then here with a special friend!
Delicious cider at the most wonderful city!
I would love to join this event. Seems like so much fun!
Love cider and would love the opportunity to have a date w my wifey!
I’m a HUGE cider enthusiast and I’ve never explored Hood River! Would love to sip and see all that this event has to offer while learning about the craft, meet the industry leaders, make some friends and see the wonderful Hood River area! Pretty 😍 please
This type of event presents the best of what’s appealing about the PNW… I am a very persnickety brew connoisseur… and do lean toward the ciders and fruity beers. Creativity is not lost on these area brewmasters/
I’d love to attend… with a designated driver, of course
A great family oriented event with a great venue! What could be better?
Sounds like an awesome event!
Never been and would love to go!
I love a good apple
Marionberry and pineapple
Hard or dry both taste yummy
Everything always then gets funny
Words soon becoming hard to grapple
A love limmerick for cider.
I would love to attend the festival and taste all the ciders!
I love cider and love the river, and who doesn’t want a chance to beat your loved ones in yard games?
Hood River rules. Wine, Cider, wind surfing, breweries, apples, pears. What are they missing? Me! At the cider fest!
I’d love this excuse for a quick getaway to Hood River!
I love cider and I think it would be fun to explore Hood River since I’ve never been. Throw in that live music and this sounds like an excellent way to spend a day!
Never been to hood river and would love an opportunity to go check it out and try the cider fest! Oregon cider has the best by far.
I’d love to go to this event, meet up with friends and drink cider in The Gorge!

I look for any reason to get out to Hood River – and this is a great reason!
You had me at “cider.” This would be lovely!
Put me in, Coach!
Gorge + cider + spring = joy
My wife loves cider and would love this event!
I love supporting the Fruit Loop and have been trying to find an opportunity to head out there for the season!
Cider Fest signals spring time and what better way to celebrate then to quench the thirst with nature’s bounty. Also the Gorge views are amazing!
This sounds like a blast! Hood River is an awesome place and I would love to spend some more time there!
I had planned on attending and then got laid off. I would love a chance to still attend this event with my partner.
This sounds like a blast and I would love to attend to try some tasty ciders.
We love ciders and have yet to explore Hood River, we would love to go!
I would love to surprise my husband with a fun excursion to the Gorge!
Mmmmm apples
Honestly, my mom is going through some heartbreak after just turning 50. I’d love to give her a special event to look forward to. A mom and daughter day out to the Hood River Cider Fest seems like a smile on her face to me!
Great excuse to get away from the ‘burbs for some fun, good drinks and meeting new people!?
Would love to check this out for the first time <3
Sounds like our kind of event!! Count us in….
This is my kind of fruit loop! It doesn’t come in a box with a Toucan on the front.
I love Hood River and cider. 🍎 🍏 An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but a cider a day keeps the blues at bay.
Sign me up please, great area for a venue showcasing ciders from the region.
Never been but have heard good things! Would love to try this fest out !

Would live to attend to bright up the spirits of a dear friend who works as a doctor in Hood River. She has had so much work in the clinic the past year and rarely gets a chance to relax. Wanna show her a good time to unwind and enjoy the city & cider.
What a wonderful idea for a date! Would love to visit one of my favourite cities in Oregon with my loved one~
We love going on the fruit loop at least once per year and this would be a perfect reason to add staying out in HR instead of just a day trip. Plus I LOVE cider and always do tastings while on the fruit loop
Sounds Like a great Date Day, please consider me and the hubby 🙂
Can’t wait to try all the ciders!
This sounds like a super fun event!

Have Volunteered to serve Cider at various Festivals

Things I love: Hood River, Cider, and Cider festivals IN Hood River. This would be a wonderful Spring adventure (and an excuse for a road trip to one of my favorite spots in Oregon)

As a gluten-free girlie and someone VERY new (1 month!) to Portland – this would be a great way to get out there and do something fun, get exposure to lots of vendors and businesses that I’d likely frequent, and do something nice with my partner!
I would be so grateful to win some tickets to take my partner out for a special day!! As college students, we don’t go to many events like this.

🍺 cider fest!!!
Would love to take my bf here!!
Yes, please. Sounds great.
Can never have enough cider!
I want to attend the Hood River Cider Fest because Oregon was the first place I got to try beer and cider as an adult. I’m celiac AND have other allergies, so I never found some I could drink. Then I moved to Salem as an adult, and I am swimming in amazing beers and ciders! I want to keep trying more and attend this fest!
What a great way to celebrate local businesses and their craft, and to celebrate the incoming of spring! I love cider and am dying to support local by trying some new ciders!
Cider sounds like a great day!
Extremely excited to check this out and hoping I win tix!
