Look for the 2015 Show to
carry on the traditions that
make this festival one of the
best bluegrass events in the
Northwest. The Festival offi-
cially kicks off with the fan-
favorite Jammers Jamboree
on Thursday night. The
evening features great talent
on the stage and sweet spe-

back the Columbia Gorge
Fiddle Contest, to be held on

workshops, continued by the

Recent studies demon-
strate a link between early
music education and a high-
er level of life-long learning
skills. The Festival wishes to
strengthen this bond and
offer thanks to their support-
ive community by continu-
ing to offer a portion of their
sponsorship funding to the
Stevenson High School Band
program.
The Festival is generously
sponsored by Skamania
County, The City of Steven-
son, Skamania Lodge, Sub-
way, Eastman Guitars, Lagu-
nitas Brewing and Avista.
As the event is underwritten
by the Skamania County
Fair Board, and held on the
Skamania County Fair-
grounds, Skamania County
residents are invited to pur-
chase a “Gorge Special” pass
at the Skamania County
Chamber of Commerce, on
sale now.
THE COLUMBIAIRES singing group
performs “Blue Moon,” among other
American folk, spiritual and pop stan-
dards during “Independence Eve,” a
first-of-of-its kind event held July 3 at
Bingen Theater in Bingen. About 125
listened in the theater as Radio Tierra
(95.1 FM) broadcast the two-hour
show live. Heidi Venture, right, of The
