Thank you!

W​e want to thank all of our sponsors; without you this festival would not be possible! We especially want to thank Klamath County. This project has been funded in part by a grant from Klamath County. A portion of the grant we received allowed us to add a hotel shuttle and reduce the bus cost of some field trips and to pass that savings on to our attendees.
