8th Annual Hood River Open Scrabble Tournament
“What a wild weekend! From Scrabble to trivia to rock climbing and many rounds of board games, it was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone for coming out and pitching in to keep the lodge and this tournament humming along. We promise we’ll muster the energy for s’mores around the fire pit next year, so now you have to come back in 2027.”
