I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
You know it’s spring in Oregon when the flowers start blooming. And where there’s flowers, there’s flower festivals! While a certain tulip festival tends to take the spotlight in terms of spring festivals in Oregon, there’s another floral fete that we think is just as fab, and totally worthy of your perennial festival bucket list. Let’s take a trip to lovely Florence, Oregon, for the one-and-only Rhododendron Festival.
You know it's spring in Oregon when the rhododendrons begin to bloom. These beguiling pink flowers are absolutely marvelous, and paint the landscape of the Beaver State in the loveliest shade of pink!
The second oldest flower festival in Oregon (just one year younger than the Portland Rose Festival), the annual Florence Rhododendron Festival is a can't-miss event.
Have you attended the Rhododendron Festival before? This is absolutely a spring festival in Oregon you don’t want to miss! Visit the Florence Chamber of Commerce website to learn more and plan your outing.
