celebrating our community
How would you capture the special nature of the Methow Valley? What is it about the connection of people and nature that makes this community such a unique place to call home?
We invite aspiring filmmakers in our trail community to create a short film that explores the sensations, connections, and feelings that are evoked on the trails, peaks, and rivers of the Methow.
We're excited to bring our community together for an evening of entertainment and inspiration this December. We hope you'll be a part of it!
