The 2023 Woodlands & Watersheds Festival was a day to remember, and it came to a memorable finish.
A multi-organization partnership between Wallowa Resources, the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center, and their newest partners, Wallowa Valley Music Alliance and the Nez Perce Tribe, hosted the 2023 Woodsheds and Watersheds Festival at the Wallowa County Fairgrounds in Enterprise, Oregon, in concert with more than 20 exhibitors to play, listen, celebrate, and learn about our Wallowa county’s natural and cultural resources, but also about the arts, writing, as well as local community services in the medical, social, and recycling fields.
Musicians Buffalo Kin (duo), Kory Quinn, Joel Chadd Music, The Golly Sisters, and Amy Fairchild added to a day of folk music by performing various songs, from traditional tunes to original compositions. Nez Perce Lightning Creek traveled from Lapwai, Idaho, to Enterprise to sing for the people. The audience enjoyed their lively performances and the beautiful music they created.
One of the kid’s favorites was the famous “pool fishing.” In addition, ample opportunities to learn about Wallowa County’s diverse culture, including the story of the Nez Perce, aka Nimmipuu, and the county’s abundance of natural resources and management thereof, were available throughout the festivities.
