PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – No, we can’t turn the calendar around and start going back towards summer. We continue to cool each week and fall is sticking around. That just means we have more fall activities and festivals to enjoy!

KOIN 6 Meteorologists Joseph Dames and Kelley Bayern discuss the opportunity to spend a little more time outdoors this weekend because of the weather. It may be a pleasant weekend to also ditch downtown and go explore Oregon.

If you’re thinking about a day trip, you may want to head to Hood River this weekend. The Hood River Valley Fall Festival kicks off Friday and sticks around until Sunday. Looking for apples and art?  This is the event for you and your family.
