Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2017 ‘Should the Astoria Riverfront Trolley raise its fare?’ THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “Yes. I don’t want this county ﬂ oating another bond — I didn’t realize how expensive it is to maintain it. I don’t think raising the price will deter any tourists, it’s still a good deal. Maybe $2 for adults, and $1.50 for kids?” “Probably not. They’ve been doing really well. Just keep it like it is — a dollar is fair. People come here and want to go on the trolley. It’s just Astoria.” “I think the trolley is an extremely important part of Astoria’s image. It’s loved by all. If that’s what it takes to keep it in operation, then I guess so.” Jeﬀ Campbell, Astoria Kay Rettew, Astoria Doug Kaup, Astoria Scandinavian Festival honored as an Oregon Heritage Tradition Midsummer Festival began in 1968 as a celebration of the summer solstice and all things Scandinavian on Oregon’s North Coast. Operated by the Astoria Scan- dinavian Heritage Association, the three-day festival is held annually during the third week- end in June at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds east of Astoria. The festival attracts thou- sands of visitors interested in exploring the culture and heri- tage of Scandinavian countries. Loran Mathews, Astoria Scandinavian Heritage Associ- ation President, and Leila Col- lier, 2017 Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival Chair- woman, remarked in a joint statement: “We thank the Ore- gon Historical Commission for this prestigious honor and invite all Oregonians and visitors to share our traditions and heritage by attending our festival.” Annual event turns 50 this year The Daily Astorian The Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival, an all-vol- unteer run community event, marks its 50th anniversary this year with an Oregon Heritage Tradition designation by the Oregon Heritage Commission. Other Oregon Heritage Traditions include the Ore- gon State Fair, the Pendle- ton Round-Up, the Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana and the Port- land Greek Festival. “The designation recog- nizes those traditions that have helped deﬁ ne the state,” Eric Martin, the commission’s chair- man, said in a release. “This event truly celebrates what is local heritage in Oregon.” The Astoria Scandinavian Court Carrier Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian Rocks, trees and debris block U.S. Highway 101 after a small landslide occurred this morning s outh of Cannon Beach.
