Celebrating 25 Years: Cheers to 25 Years with John Welch

On behalf of the Westben Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Westben. We are so pleased you could join us as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary.

25 years! That is quite an accomplishment. It all started with Brian Finley and Donna Bennett, who had the vision for a music festival in the idyllic setting of Northumberland County. Since 1999, Westben has grown into a vital organization that celebrates Music in Nature and serves the community in myriad ways throughout the year.

All of this would never have been possible without a small army of volunteers and a dedicated group of supporters, many of whom have been with us from the beginning. To them we offer our heartfelt thanks.

And to you we say thank you for joining us in this anniversary season. Old friend or newcomer, I sincerely thank you for supporting Westben. We are so glad to see you and hope you will return soon to this unique place that holds a special place in our hearts.

And l don’t know about you, but I’m excited to see how Westben continues to grow and evolve over the next 25 years
