Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department Mountain Festival

An enthusiastic crowd of more than 1,400 braved some blustery weather for live music and fun presented in partnership with the Bohemian Foundation. The performers included Liz Barnez, Don Dierner, Cowtown, Also Known As and Choice City Trio. Attendees enjoyed free demonstrations, farm animals, tractor-pulled hayrides and even a little ice cream despite the frosty fall weather. The bake, plant and book sales were also big hits. All proceeds benefited the fire department, which serves more than 110 square miles.
