Halloween is always so fun with all the different events around the Wenatchee Valley. This year's Museum & Cultural Center is a spookily good time!

Some times people will come up to me and say, “That’s a true Washingtonian right there! Being able to handle cold weather wearing shorts!” Actually, I’m a warm climate beach boy from SoCal.
