The Wesley Bell Ringer 2022 Summer Tour Day 15
Pendleton, OR to Boise, ID
June 25, 2022
Day 15- Last concert before the home concert!
After sleeping at the church in Pendleton, OR, our hosts provided breakfast this morning with a warm send off as we began our travels to Boise, Idaho. Our first stop was at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, an outdoor garden environment that explores different human rights issues and influential statements by influential leaders. After this visit we continued on and visited Freak Alley Gallery, which is a street that has many artist pictures on the walls. It was fun to see the varied styles of art. We were photo-bombed by Anna, the prior assistant director of the Wesley Bell Ringers, who the ringers were thrilled to see! It was great to have her join us and to have her at the concert, we have all missed her. We visited the Boise World Village Fest 2022 and ate lunch while we visited the varied booths. After lunch we arrived at our next destination, the First Congregational United Church of Christ. The audience included a former Wesley Bell Ringer and about six bell choir conductors, so it was a fun audience! The ringers played an excellent concert! We are all very much looking forward to being back with our families (and our pets)! Please remember to invite family and friends to the concert, you will be amazed at the music they are now producing!

Today we had a long bus ride to Boise from Pendleton, it was about 5 hours. In those 5 hours I spent most of my time sleeping. Once we arrived in Boise, we went to the Anne Frank Memorial Park. In the park we learned about Anne Frank and the challenges she faced in Nazi Germany. While we were in the park we voted on an award that will be given. Once we left the park, we went to a little alley way with many murals; including one with some Chinese characters and one with Jimmy Hendrix. We chose a mural to take our picture in front of, but while we were taking our picture Anna appeared out of nowhere and everyone was very excited! Once we finished at the murals, we went to the world fair to eat lunch and there was lots of delicious food. After that we headed to the church to prepare for our concert. Setup for the concert was very small, especially for percussion, Dinner that night was very good and our hosts were very kind. The concert went very well and everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy it. Then some people headed to host homes and others to the hotel. Overall, it was an amazing day!
