The 16th Trout Forest Music Festival kicks off Friday night - CKDR is a proud sponsor of the Trout and we hope we'll see you there this weekend! Three stages of music, a great beach, lots of good food...and the forecast is for sunshine!

Frank's Tavern at the Trout Forest Music Festival in Ear Falls - when the song is titled "Bargain Store Panties"...well, the crowd just has to sing along (and they did!) The Trout continues through the weekend with three stages of family entertainment, on the Ear Falls waterfront.

Dryden Observer Editor (and Musician) Chris Marchand enjoys a fast supper at the Trout Forest Music Festival. Chris quipped that he wouldn't make the CKDR photo album. SO - if you see him around town, let him know you saw him here, ok? (Chris is a good friend to the Trout)
