CAMPFIRE CONCERT IN THE CANYON with KATHERINE MOURE & BJ&F.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation
2013 CAMPFIRE CONCERTS IN THE CANYON
#2
Friday, July 26, 2013 8PM
KATHERINE MOURE with BJ & F
Cedar Canyon
Nature Park
The second installment for
2013 of the popular CAMPFIRE CONCERTS IN THE CANYON will be held on Friday,
July 27th at 8:00 PM. In its fifth year, this series was originally designed to
help maintain appreciation for the Southwest Wildlife Foundation and to create
awareness about Cedar
Canyon's beautiful nature
park. Since its inception, the concert series, which features local and touring
musicians, has been a part of the kick-off of the Groovefest American Music
Festival in June and continues each final Friday of the month through
September. It is now an annual event for the park.
The recently renamed CEDAR CANYON
NATURE PARK,
was formerly known as the SOUTHWEST
WILDLIFE FOUNDATION
NATURE PARK.
It will eventually house native wild animals that cannot be released, due to
disabilities, and the Nature Center that is planned to be built on the grounds of
the park, located 1 1/2 miles east of Cedar City’s
Main Street
on Highway 14. It will provide a permanent home in a natural setting while
enhancing the public’s educational experience when visiting the park.
There is currently a campaign to build a center, where visitors can receive
information, and experience exhibits and programs about wildlife, plants, the
environment and local natural history.
Earlier this year, with the help of
volunteers and local businesses, CCNP had it's first major permanent structure
installed; a footbridge spanning Coal Creek so that visitors will have easier
access to the park and the fire pit area where the concerts are held. The north
side of the creek bank has also been graded into a walking path so that for the
first time, visitors have the ability to enjoy the park from the north side of
the park. This path connects the new bridge with the existing city bridge
further to the west.
These additions coupled with future
plans of the SWF will enhance the visits of those enjoying the park, which
along with the many wildlife programs provided by Martin Tyner, the
Foundation's founder, have numbered over 150,000.
Martin and Susan Tyner have written
a book which gives the reader a sense of what the couple have gone through in
their quest to make the Nature
Park a reality. “Healer
of Angels” is available to the concert-goers and anyone who is interested.
The concert during last
month's Groovefest American Music Festival was a huge success, and if that is
any indication, the 2013 series should be the best yet. At that concert Martin
also brought along a wonderful surprise – a nine week great horned owl that he
rescued when it fell from it's nest as a very young baby! Pictures can be
viewed on the Southwest Wildlife Foundation's Facebook page as well as that of
the Cedar Canyon Nature
Park's page.
The Southwest Wildlife
Foundation Park
campfire pit is found at the south side of Coal Creek, directly across from the
new green bridge. Parking is available there as well as at the first waterfall,
where that footbridge will take you to the walking path. From there, just
follow the trail until you come to the fire pit, just a short distance to the
east.
The music will begin at
approximately 8:00PM to approximately 9:30PM after the campfire is lit. The
campfire concerts are extremely casual and impromptu and participants are
encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, lanterns and flashlights.
Marshmallows and roasting sticks are a courtesy and provided by Susan Tyner.
The show is free, but donations will be accepted.
The land on the park property is
open to the public for their use in observing the beauty and natural habitat of
local wildlife. The campfire pit may be utilized by individuals and
organizations for sing-a-longs and various get-togethers with notice to SWF
authorities.
The concert on July26th will feature
two acts that are new to the series.
KATHERINE MOURE is a local
singer songwriter with a very unique style. She has a song on the “Cedar Breaks
Out!” CD, a compilation of Cedar
City musicians that was
put together as a fund raiser for the Southwest Wildlife Foundation. These CDs
will be available at the show.
The local three-some BF&J
will strip down from their usual electric style and have prepared a special
acoustic set just for the Campfire Concert. They are all from the Cedar City
area.

Nature Park
