Salem Of The Pacific Northwest, USA
♫ Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
When one hears Salem, one may automatically think of witch trials. However, in the heart of the Willamette Valley, lies the capital of the US state of Oregon. Salem is nicknamed the Cherry City for its burgeoning cherry industry in the past. The city has plentiful offerings for all travelers from gardens to markets and vineries to festivals. The Willamette River flows along Salem; this city is surrounded for the most part by hills, including the volcanic Salem hills in the south.
The fun never stops in Salem and its calendar is full of events – fairs and festivals. Visit Salem in the near future to enjoy your slice of entertainment. Some of these are the ‘Uncorked Wine Auction’ and ‘25th Annual Sheep to Shawl Festival’, both in May. Ensure that you check the dates and timings of both these events before scheduling a visit.
