This winter has been quite wearing on many people, and Chelan is trying to help with a brand new event looking to tap into the spirit of renewal called Unwind and Explore. Historic Downtown Chelan Association Executive Director Jessie Simmons says they are in a unique position to offer people ways to rejuvenate after the winter and start to feel better.

"A lot of people, especially on the rainy side of the mountains don't realize how healing it can be to come over and get some sunshine for a couple of days, so we want to share that with everyone over there."

This is the first year of the event which will take place April 28th through the 30th throughout the valley. Simmons says it may be the first year of the event, but she has big dreams.

"Five or 10 years from now, this could really be a big event for Chelan because I don't know of anywhere else doing this sort of event and I really definitely don't know of anywhere else that's as great of a setting for this type of event."
