Even from day #1 Blues Festival hasn't always been supported

Methow Grist just published a great story on the 25 year history of the Rhythm and Blues Festival.

It's interesting to note (no pun intended) that the Blues Festival has always struggled with acceptance by the community.

While the large economic impact to local business is obvious what many people do not realize is that  many local non-profits such as The Cove, Little Star Montessori School and the Methow Valley School District's Music Program are also receive donations from the Festival promoters. That's music to many peoples ears!

Enjoy the weekend.

MVSTA seeking partners for new trailhead shelters

MVSTA is seeking partnerships from local architects, builders and contractors to help create new, compelling trailhead kiosks or shelters.  MVSTA has issued a Request for Proposals which outlines the project which can be found here.  This is a great opportunity for the building community to showcase their work at the major recreational access points in the Valley.  The hope is to have new incredible trailhead features which add to the visitor experience. MVSTA envisions people wanting to visit all the trailheads in the Valley in order to experience each of the cool, new kiosks or shelters.  Our gateway to the trails deserve a feature that better represents the Methow Valley than a weathered wooden sign!  Again the full proposal with deadlines can be found here.
