Thursday evening we stopped by the fairgrounds to see the start of the Wenatchee River Bluegrass Festival. This was the evening before the event started and campers were just arriving for the weekend's activities. Every evening they have jam sessions where the musicians get out their lawn chairs and play into the wee hours of the morning. One of Kent's middle school students is really amazing at the mandolin so the older musicians let him into their groups. He is the one with the orange baseball uniform on in the photo above. Everyone was very friendly and it was fun to hear this great acoustic music. We have tickets for the weekend, so we may try and make one of the evening concerts tonight.
