  33. Ken Cosey on April 14, 2022 at 2:42 pm

    Hood River is a great place for such an event; the cider is a great alternative to beer; and my GF and I would love to attend, especially for the low low price of free!

  34. Cath on April 14, 2022 at 2:59 pm

    This sounds awesome!!! Love cider and Hood River has some delicious orchards and cideries.

  36. Bronwyn Ewers on April 14, 2022 at 3:19 pm

    Cider rocks. I started going to cider maker pubs and taphouses that have cider. I used to enjoy wineries but many ciders taste better than wine and most places don’t need reservations. It’s fun to try a flight and learn about different cider makers.

  37. Robert on April 14, 2022 at 3:50 pm

    Wanted to go last year but was canceled.

  38. Robyn Espinoza on April 14, 2022 at 4:06 pm

    Perfect to drink cider and start enjoying my new home for the past 3 years

  39. Carter LIPPERT on April 14, 2022 at 4:53 pm

    Hood River and cider? Sounds awesome!

  40. Ophelia “Newton” Darkly on April 14, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    Because…
    I’m the reincarnation of Isaac Newton. The world depends upon my attendance to this very important festival.

  41. Justine Jefson on April 14, 2022 at 9:11 pm

    My partner has had to work 14hr days, 7 days a week for the past 2 months and will finally be done with that schedule come the weekend of this cider fest. I would love nothing more than to surprise him with a fun time out, to celebrate surviving this busy season at work! Plus, cider…yummmm 🙂

  42. Cory on April 14, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    I propose

  43. Lori Balbi on April 15, 2022 at 2:11 am

    I consumed my first hard cider in 1983 while in England. I have been hooked ever since! This sounds like a great opportunity to taste many options all in one place. I’m always looking for new flavor twists and quality.

  44. Lauren on April 15, 2022 at 7:46 am

    I would love to check out Hood River and drink some good cider!

  45. Kaeli Plaks on April 15, 2022 at 8:46 am

  47. Debra K on April 16, 2022 at 1:59 pm

    My lifelong goal to live in Hood River has – at last – been met and I want to take it all in with vigor! After almost two years avoiding live events, it would be such a pleasure to meet new friends and cider-makers while enjoying music and fresh air. Wowza! Who could ask for anything more?

  48. Kenneth Schmidt on April 16, 2022 at 2:23 pm

    Because my doctor says to eat more apples.

  49. Molly on April 16, 2022 at 2:27 pm

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away

  50. Lena Bainbridge on April 17, 2022 at 6:59 pm

  51. Jenny on April 19, 2022 at 12:49 pm

    My partner and I are looking for something fun to do over his bday weekend! This would be a blast!

  52. Rhianna Byrd on April 19, 2022 at 12:55 pm

    This would be an amazing opportunity for my spouse and I to explore the gorge and meet others through the love of cider 😋.

  53. Joseph on April 19, 2022 at 1:21 pm

    Im 67 and my 25 year old daughter who doesnt drink just told me she is curious about alkyhall — but not hard stuff or plain old beer. This would be a daddy daughter way of showing her a buzz but more than that, be able to be with her so she is safe, and experience the nuances of different companies cider. And, I LOVE Hood River.

  54. Sadie on April 19, 2022 at 2:33 pm

    I’ve never been and would love this as a date for my partner and I. We haven’t had much ability to since the pandemic, but with the mandates lifting, we could use a celebration….and cider!!

  61. Victoria lopez on April 22, 2022 at 8:15 am
