We’re new to the area and had never heard of this festival. I asked a Portland company for a window installation bid, and was told about this great pie festival in Bingen. The saleswoman seemed more interested in having me attend and buy a pie than she was to have me buy a new French door from her business. I’d say that’s a pretty good recommendation.
That IS great word of mouth marketing. I hope you can make it out to the Gorge for some pie this weekend. It is a lovely event.
