Dear friends,

Like you, we are concerned about the smoke from wildfires that has been blanketing Walla Walla for too long now. As I write this, the Air Quality Index is at 172. Anything above 150 is considered unhealthy for most folks. In recent days, the Air Quality Index has risen as high as 260.

Your health is important to everybody involved with the Festival. So, we have made plans to cancel the September 8 and 9 events if it looks like the Air Quality Index is above 150. If we cancel, we will reschedule for September 15 and 16.

Here’s the plan:
We will decide to go forward or rescheule on Friday, September 8 at 2 p.m. We will post the decision on the home page of the Festival website and on Facebook. We’ll also send an email to everybody on the list.

We are excited for the Festival and looking forward to seeing you either Saturday the ninth or Saturday the 16th.

Cheers,

David, Lucia, and Dawn
