StreamFest provides opportunities for sponsors and others


North Olympic Land Trust’s 8th annual StreamFest provides plenty of opportunities for involvement.

Businesses and individuals can help cover expenses for this major event and for the Land Trust’s work throughout the year through StreamFest Sponsorships.

Sponsors benefits include being able to host a booth about their products and/or services. Sponsors also receive publicity through StreamFest ads, printed programs and signage. Sponsorships start at $500. They can consist of cash or in-kind contributions or a combination. More information is on this Web site by clicking on Options and Benefits for Sponsors. Agreement forms, which follow the Options and Benefits sheet, are due at the Land Trust office by May 1. Payments are due July 1.

Other involvement opportunities include sharing of pictures, words or music to express what you like about the special qualities of the North Olympic Peninsula. We’ve already received this beautiful photograph from Bob Kaune, titled “Blue and Gold.” The photograph of the Elwha River, in Olympic National Park, is currently part of the Strait Art 2008 show at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.

Elwha River Reflections Bob Kaune’s StreamFest submission, “Elwha River Reflections.” His photography is among artwork exhibited at Strait Art 2008 through May 11.

Original songs and original lyrics to familiar melodies came from Steve Koehler. They are available on Steve’s Web site . Of particular interest may be Steve’s lyrics for “Roll on Dungeness,” which uses the same melody and is inspired by the lyrics of Woody Guthrie’s classic, “Roll on Columbia”; and “Longer Than You,” which Steve calls “a recognition of North Olympic Peninsula waters.”

More information about this new sharing aspect of StreamFest is in the news release on this Web site. StreamFest welcomes original submissions.

Volunteer opportunities for StreamFest begin with planning and continue until about 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 6, when the meadows at Ennis Arbor Farm have been cleared of canopies, tables, chairs and everything it takes for a successful StreamFest. Next planning session is Wednesday, April 9. More information is available from volunteer StreamFest chairperson, Robbie Mantooth, at streamfest@northolympiclandtrust.org or 360-808-3139.
