The Wesley Bell Ringer 2022 Summer Tour Day 14
Leavenworth, WA to Pendleton, OR
June 24, 2022
Day 14
The day started with breakfast at our hotel, the Fair Bridge Inn & Suites, in Leavenworth, Washington. We loaded the bus and then had some time to explore the German themed town because those who went to the senior dinner were not able to shop because we have found that stores close early. We all met at the blue and white May Pole to begin our trek to the next concert. After a group picture we hit the road for several hours, to Tamastskilt Culture Center. The ringers had an opportunity to learn about the Indigenous population and the history of the area. We knew we left Washington because the temperature rose and the vegetation changed. After a brief stop we continued on our way to Pendleton Oregon for our concert at the First Presbyterian Church.

We spent this morning wandering around Leavenworth. There were so many cool sights to see. They had a Gingerbread factory, a Danish pastry place, a nutcracker establishment, and every kind of shop in-between. After that we had a long bus ride to a Native American Museum. They had a history of natives that lived in that area. I've spent most of my life in Utah so I knew a great deal of the natives that lived in Utah, but not of the ones that lived in Washington. After that, we drove to our next church to perform. The church itself was lovely. They had a nice stain glass window and pipe organ in the front. Our performance that night went great. It had its mistakes but that's the beauty of live music. We then spent the night sleeping at the church. All in all, it's been a great day.
