Guitarist Spence McClure strums under uncertain skies, reflected in the window of Riverside Community Church, where church members served free root beer floats on Aug. 1 as part of First Friday in downtown Hood River. The clouds, and brief rainfall, gave way to sunshine for the evening, as evidenced by the long shadows at a break-dancing demonstration in front of Hood River Bagel Company and Book Stop. Thousands of people flocked downtown for First Friday to hear music, look at local artwork, and even get a blood pressure test courtesy of the Providence Hood River mobile health unit.
