Bonus Story on the Northwest Cherry Commission

From 1997 to 2007 the Northwest Cherry Commission flew a succession of Taiwanese starlets to Eastern Washington to film music videos in fruiting cherry orchards. The videos were part of a marketing campaign to introduce Northwest cherries to the Taiwanese to increase export sales. Here is a montage created by Zak Margolis from numerous music videos that aired on MTV in Taiwan. Performers include Gigi Leung, Jessica, and Lillian Ho. Thanks to Northwest Cherries for permission to share these videos.
