On Oct 19, 2024, at the 2 Towns Ciderhouse in Corvallis OR, the 14th annual Harvest Party hosted thousands of guests by entertaining with music, dozens of tap beverages, yard games, and even a short hot air balloon ride to bring the community together.
After getting their party mug at the entrance along with a few tickets used to “buy” beverages, attendees could mingle with family, friends, and many others who share the enthusiasm for cider and fall spirit.
The net proceeds of this event will go to Cornerstone Community Housing, a local organization who develops affordable housing throughout Lane County, as well as providing residential services to the community. This event is something the community looks forward to every year and is valuable to Willamette Valley locals, whether they’re a cider drinker or not.
