The Salmon Festival also provides support to community
endeavors by offering opportunities for community groups and businesses to earn
revenue by taking part in our annual celebrations by providing security,
entertainment, food, crafts and other services at our events. Community groups
having a draw or raffle are encouraged to sell their tickets and promote their
cause at our venues.
