SHADY COVE, Ore Several people flocked to the Rogue River Monday, kicking off the unofficial start to summer.
Raft Rite Rentals is located about two miles from the upper part of the Rogue River. It says business has increased over the last few days, and is expected to pick up with warmer days ahead.
Following last fall’s fires and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, owners are hoping more people will come to the area to enjoy the river.
“One of the most satisfying thing about this business is making friends and meeting people from different places,” Larry Cooper, owner of Raft Rite Rentals, told NBC5 news. “They’re more like friends than they are customers.”
