The River Festival held on 6 June, included photographs from local photographers and
(for 90,000 trees that will be destroyed) 90 silk paintings by children from Cachagua, Big
Sur, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Seaside, Carmel Valley, and Monterey.
Patrick Clark, Lynda Jardine, Tom Little Bear Nason and Kenny Stahl played music. There
was a wonderful animal parade protesting to "Save our Habitat" and "Save
our River" and a video short about impacts of the dam; all part of the Visual
Voices Project.
