Bitterroot Valley BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL

Hamilton, Montana

Perry Vose, chariman of the Bitterroot Valley Bluegrass Festival last year and a very vital member of the board, had devoted a great deal of himself to the festival for many years. It is with deep regret that we must inform you that he passed away at the end of January.

Due to Perry's passing, along with uncertain economic times with the price of gas as high as it is and people cutting back generally, the decision has been made to forego the festival for 2008.

We appreciate your help in the past and look forward to your continued support of bluegrass music in the future.

Sincerely, The Bluegrass Festival Board
