Letter to the Editor

Blues fest was great for town

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

Dear editor:

We attended the Great Basin Blues Festival last Saturday and were extremely impressed with the superb job the organizers did.

Launching an annual event like this is extremely difficult and time consuming and it was wonderful how many local businesses and individuals got involved.

We appreciated how there was a mix of local Idaho and Mississippi Blues artists. The first Weiser Old Time Fiddle Festival was probably a struggle but now look at the benefit to that community every year.

We're looking forward to next year's Mountain Home Great Basin Blues Festival. Go Tigers!
