Thanks to all who attended and supported the 2010 Willamette Valley Blues & Brews Festival!
Our “Little Festival that Could” has turned into a major Oregon event. The 2010 Festival drew thousands of people to beautiful Island Park in Springfield where people enjoyed raft rides on the river, face painting, juggling and balloon animals in the KidZONE, some great craft beer sampling, nice wines, a huge selection of food, and of course the best Blues music our area has seen in years.
We’ll post the tallies once we have the final numbers, but we are so thankful to the people of Oregon that have supported Springfield/Eugene Habitat for Humanity and Food for Lane County. The food barrels were overflowing at the entrance and we are anxiously anticipating the total of donations raised for both nonprofits.
Please mark your calendars for the 3rd Annual Willamette Valley Blues & Brews Festival! August 5th and 6th, 2011 in the park on the river. We are already starting the work needed to make this next year the biggest ever! And of course basking in the glow of this year’s incredible event. Again, thank you to all musicians, partners, vendors, supporters, sponsors, and of course the hundreds of volunteers without whom this Festival would not have happened. Our thanks to Hunter Creation for creating and hosting our website. Check them out at huntercreation.com to see their graphic design and web design services available. Call them for more information 541-338-7181.
See you at the park next year!
