Charles Washington

The Festival In The Pines is scheduled for September 6, 1997, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort in Lee Canyon and the Mt. Charleston Alpine Village in Kyle Canyon. The theme of the Festival is "Do It On The Mountain, Again!!" Last year's Festival had 2,000 attendees, and we expect double that this year. The SMA wants to involve people with the many activities that can be held in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (SMNRA). All organizations that sponsor, promote, advocate, support, or participate in activities that can be performed and/or are conducted in the SMNRA, or organizations that provide services or recreational equipment to those who do, outdoor oriented artists and relevant crafters are invited to participate. Some of the known activities are horse riding, bicycling, photography, volksmarching, rock climbing, hiking, bird watching, plant identification, snowboarding, Native American rock art location and preservation, mining, backpacking, outdoor cooking, archery, hunting, fishing, motorcycling, off roading, black powder shooting, Native American activities, historical research, running, fire prevention, trail building and maintenance, wildlife identification, and orienteering.

Attendees will be asked for a $1 donation per person, and the donor will receive one raffle ticket. Festival proceeds will be used for SMA-sponsored projects within the SMNRA, including an Interpretive Trail.
