  • Paddler Magazine photo shoot -- Last Post: Wednesday, May 14, 2008

    Hello.
    I am the editor of Paddler Magazine in Kirkland, Washington. We have selected Hood River, of course, as one of the best towns in America. We have scheduled a photo shoot in downtown HR for Friday, May 16 at Oak and 3rd Street, and are inviting local residents to be in the photo. We’d like to get a good mix of people, including families. We intend to use this shot on the cover of our July/August issue.

  • Charities/Org. to donate clothes to?? -- Last Post: Monday, April 28, 2008

    Hi!

    I have some little girls clothes (sizes 2t-4t) and some other baby items I would like to give away.    Many of the goodwill and salvation locations up here in Seattle stop taking donations when they get full (imagine that) so I thought I would pack up some stuff and bring it down to Hood River / White Salmon.  Does anyone know any place I can drop off these items?  I would love to help out a needy family or an organization in need.

    Thanks!

  • New Business Ideas? -- Last Post: Friday, April 18, 2008

    My husband and I would like to move our young family to Hood River, because we are simply in love with the area. We currently live in Seattle and have professional occupations that aren't available in Hood River area. I am considering starting a new business. Does anyone have any ideas on what Hood River needs? I mean it already seems to have everything :) And the residents don't seem to be high maintenance (which is also another reason to love it there).

  • Welcome to Hood River -- Last Post: Sunday, January 27, 2008

    It's great to see new moms looking for family fun ideas in the gorge.  You will find it is a great place to raise a family, and will see there are many options to keep you busy.

    My family created an indoor play space for families to enjoy with their children, it is call Our Children's Place and we are located on the heights in Hood River.  We hold pre-school classes in the morning but are open to the public in the afternoons and weekends. It is a great place to meet other parents.
