Review for Mountain Harvest Creative, Paonia, CO, USA
As a writer, musician and a long-time volunteer for local music festivals, I take great pride in our regional music venues. I can't stress enough the importance of the Mountain Harvest Festival. It's important that such events become regular annual events, so they can be real contributors to the local economy. The Mountain Harvest Festival pays its musicians a small stipend, and in turn, provides them with a great venue before a friendly, local audience. The musicians are happy;; the audience is happy; the local economy gets a boost. Each year the festival enriches and enlivens its small mountain community. It's a lovely event, and people smile a lot. In other words, Mountain Harvest Festival is good for the arts, but it's also good for the pizza place on the corner. Mountain Harvest Festival represents the best of Colorado and should continue. My sincerest hope is that it will.

As a performer, Mountain Harvest Festival gave me a great opportunity, and enough money to pay for the trip from my home in Montrose (Colorado). As a "local," after my performance I enjoyed the festival with my friends. We loved the music and we had a lovely time in a great Western town. As a resident of the Western Slope, I see the effects of such events on our local economies. I know that this type of festival is key to a community's economic success.

I really like this one the way it is...run by committed folks who love good music and love their town and are willing to contribute to their community through dedicated action.
