Snoring Sasquatch. The Howling Wannabes are noted for their somewhat deep, and totally original, music. Their songs are excellent for both listening and dancing. Also appearing that evening is Night Crow, the extremely hardrocking band that forces you to get on your feet and dance. Doors for this great music party open at 7 p.m.; the music starts at 7:30.

COLUMBIA BASIN TRUST
Just over $107,000 is available to fund projects that make a positive difference for Columbia Basin youth aged 12-29 in the upcoming Youth Grants Program (YGP) intake. Organizations, school districts, First Nations organizations and local governments — plus youth aged 15-29 with a sponsoring organization — can apply for up to $15,000 per project. “CBT strives to take an active role in helping communities create opportunities for young people in the basin,” said CBT sector initiatives senior manager Aimee Ambrosone. “Projects that receive youth grants funding benefit basin youth in diverse ways.” CBT’s Youth Advisory Committee, made up of youth aged 15-29 from around the basin, adjudicates the YGP applications. The upcoming YGP deadline is Oct. 7 at 2 p.m. Program adjudicators are especially interested in projects that support youth engagement, leadership or employment and entrepreneurship. The next YGP intake will be spring 2014. For more information, visit www.cbt.org/ygp. CBT supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about CBT programs and initiatives, visit www.cbt.org or call 1-800-505-8998.
