Friends

west desert of Utah.
An

tasting at the Border Inn will kick

tasting are brewed with water from the Great Basin. "The
Festival helps Great Basin Water Network to keep water in Snake
Valley," said Abby Johnson of the Great Basin Water Network.
"It's a fun way to raise awareness and money at the same time."

artist and multi-faceted instrumentalist, incorporate a
multi-cultural blend of music and storytelling. In addition, James
Dalton, also a storyteller and multi-talented musician, brings the
trio full circle. These talented musicians will also lead music
and storytelling
workshops for all ages throughout
the weekend.

Snake Valley Festival has something for everyone. Come out and
experience a parade that welcomes anyone to become part of it, join
the water fight at the playground, browse the silent auction, and
enjoy some of the great food. Peer through the solar telescope to
observe the sun or join the evening astronomy
program at Great Basin National
Park. Join the fun!” urged Gretchen
