Anyone in Northwest Washington who is interested in tasting a variety of locally grown fruit should consider attending the Fruit Festival at Cloud Mountain Farm September 30 or October 1. There will be 250-300 fruit and fruit products to sample, local wine tastings (preregister), cider pressing demos, cooking demos, live music, and a pumpkin patch. Gate proceeds go to benefit WSU Mt. Vernon Fruit Research Station. For more info- [url:36uk7q09]http://www.cloudmountainfarm.com/index2.cfm/_festival[/url:36uk7q09]
