The festival is a fundraising event for American River Music, a charitable
organization with a mission "to teach, inspire and enjoy music".  We think
we're on the right track when we get feedback from folks like S.W. of
Placerville who said about last year's festival, "I had the wonderful
experience of attending the Music Festival yesterday. I can't say enough
about how much I enjoyed it. I have told all my co-workers and will also
tell all my friends that we MUST go next year. The musicians were absolutely
spectacular. The setting was so beautiful. I can't imagine a more enjoyable
day."

We'd sure appreciate it if you'd lend your support by telling a friend!

All the best,
