Many thanks to the Action Festival board and their many volunteers and sponsors for once again bringing us a wonderful weekend of entertainment and music.
Action Fest certainly adds joie de vivre to our community.
As many of us know, even those who weren’t in the park, but could hear the various bands, it was a music filled weekend.
Individual musicians and bands from far and wide, including some talented local musicians from Summerland, provided a weekend full of great music.
More great music will be made this coming weekend as the 19th Annual Bluegrass Festival is held at the Summerland Rodeo Grounds.
You are invited to join in the fun, and the bluegrass family.
Have an interest in a instrument? Someone will help you with a beginners lesson. It’s never too late to join in on the fun. Tjac’s workshop will take care of that problem.
And if you don’t feel like playing, how about just plain listening?
The featured performers will be the Chris Stevens Family Bluegrass Band.
