| Working on last years Rolling Rivers model |
The 22nd
annual Wenatchee River Salmon Festival will begin this weekend on Saturday at
the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. This
natural resource education event is held each fall to celebrate the return of
the salmon to the Wenatchee River. Saturday and Sunday will provide the public
with the opportunity to come celebrate and learn about salmon and their
significance to the region. We’ll be there with the Rolling Rivers watershed
display. This giant sand box allows
students to observe the effects that small changes to a river can have on the
entire watershed system. For more information

This will be my
first Salmon Festival experience and I’m excited. I keep hearing about what a
great event it is and how much everyone enjoys it. This event will be especially interesting for
me because so many of the activities highlight some of the Pacific Northwest’s
attributes. I’m really looking forward to seeing the local artists’ sidewalk
chalk art. With music, food,
“edutainment”, and more it seems like Salmon Fest has something for everyone
and I can’t wait! Hope to see you there!
