Alphorn-playingSalzburger Echobandto headline 2015edition of Oregon'sAlpenfest Submitted to GO! magazine

WALLOWA LAKE — Salzburger Echo, a lively, internationally known band from Utah with the unusual specialty of Swiss alphorn playing, will be the headline act at the2015 edition ofOregon's Alpenfest. The annual Swiss-Bavarian festival takes place Sept. 24-27 with four performances at Wallowa Lake and additional activities in

Joseph and Enterprise. In addition to live music, Oregon's Alpenfest will feature Swiss yodeling, Alpine folk dancing, solo Alphorn music, accordionists, the Alpine Art, Antique and Craft Fair and traditional bratwurst and beer. For the second year in a row, there will be free polka lessons. Details and ticket information are available atoregonalpenfest. com.

Salzburger Echo comes from its home base near Salt Lake City to play for the first time in Eastern Oregon.Although the band usually performs elsewhere on Alpenfest weekend, the musicians decided to give Wallowa County a try this year, according to Alpenmeister Chuck Anderson. The band brings the Alps to audiences, playing Old World and contemporary folk music from

the alpine regions of Switzerland,Germany and Austria.The band entertains with the 12-foot alphorns, Swiss cowbells and harmony yodeling as well as more traditional instruments. Together since 1992, Salzburger Echo has played many venues and festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe, including Mt. Angel Oktoberfest in Oregon, Snowbird's Annual Oktoberfest in Utah,

Las Vegas Oktoberfest, Ruidoso Oktoberfest in New Mexico and Oktoberfest at Snake River Brewing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Popular acts returning to Oregon's Alpenfest include Swiss yodeler Arthur Brogli, who hails from Lodi, California, but has entertained throughout the country and was a huge hit in 2014. Brogli is a Swiss native and the eldest son of Swiss immigrants.

A new mercantile exhibit beckons as visitors flock to the Union County Museum Society Sunday for its traditional Mothers Day opening. The museum, at 331 S. Main St. in Union, will be open from noon to 4 p.m. It's a chance to enjoy the holiday while exploring life in Union County over the last 150 years. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. Grande Rondolin, a local stringed instrument group, will play the museum's two rare instruments, the mandocello and the mandobase. The group also will use the two instruments during a concert at Eastern Oregon University at a future date. The mercantile exhibit takes visitors back in time to the 1890s through 1920s. Museum curator Blanche Kohler, Union carpenter David Schmidt and volunteers have used old photos of Union County stores and gathered items from the museum collection to fill the 20-foot by 18-foot walk-in replica of a typical small-town general store. The museum is open through mid-October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday throughSaturday.Admis-
