Crossing the Blues: La Grande Summer Festival

It has been a while since we posted... been pretty busy rooting ourselves into the community and encouraging revolution. Had the opportunity to work with the city of La Grande and other great orginazations in creating a signature art and cultural event for La Grande and Northeastern Oregon. There will be music, theatre, art, film, farmer's market, food and vendors, a triathalon and more.

We have just launched the website and encourage you all to get involved. Jump over to www.crossingtheblues.com and see what is going on. The festival will be help August 22 and 23 right downtown here in La Grande. Sign up for the newsletter so you can keep updated on bands, foods, contents, good times and more. You can help sponsor, donate to, or just participate in the events.

These are all things that can help our community grow and develop a rich appreciation for the artists and musicians that help keep our brains sane and encourage economic growth in our beautiful historic downtown. Please make it out to the fedtival and keep yourself in the loop...
