A little something for Everyone at the www.wenatcheeriver.com |
Between the current economic environment and a transition with key organizers, this year’s festival was in danger of being cancelled. The initial announcement led to a wake-up call among the community where local volunteers joined together back in March to keep it alive for 2010. The theme, not surprisingly is "Save the Wenatchee River Festival”. One group, Riverbooty, had already begun to organize an annual rafting event for that weekend. They along with the Washington Kayak Club, World Kayak and Leavenworth Mountain Sports combined efforts to organize this year’s festival. This year’s festival will take place on June 12 and offers raft events, a kayaking down river race, rodeo event, play clinic, and a silent auction. The goal is to raise support for the festival so that it can continue as a promoter and fundraiser for AW.
