The rockin’ and soothin’ sounds of the Palouse Music Festival

The second Palouse Music Festival drew another good crowd at Hayton Greene Park in Palouse on Saturday. Previously known as the Palouse Bluegrass Festival, a variety of genres of music were performed during the nine hour event. Artists included many local talents from around the Palouse region. In addition to the sounds of the festival, visitors were presented with various craft vendors to see and food and drink to smell and taste, making it an event for all the senses. Proceeds from the festival went to the Palouse Arts Council, Community Center and Chamber of Commerce.
