We have been eagerly looking forward to the Lake Itasca Family Music Festival this summer.  It was the 7th annual and we have had the privilege of being there each year and helping with this wonderful family event.

The Bontrager Family

In between working to keep things running smoothly, we enjoyed great music from families hailing from all parts of the country, learning at instrument workshops, singing a couple of songs on the Heritage stage, and jamming late into the night.

We were blessed by the fellowship with friends that we get to see each year at the festival.

We so appreciate the emphasis on family ministry that we see throughout the weekend.  We suggest you put next year’s festival on your calendar – August 2, 3, & 4 2013.
