The Creation Festival’s younger brother out in the northwestern U.S. is planning a big move in 2010.
Creation Northwest, the younger version of the long-running Pennsylvania version of the festival (officially known as Creation Northeast), is moving next summer to a more wooded site that’s also more accessible to Seattle and Portland.
“After 12 amazing years in the high desert and extreme heat at (Washington State’s) Gorge Amphitheater; Creation Festival Northwest is moving to the picturesque, green valley at Enumclaw Expo Center in Enumclaw, Washington,” states a news release from Creation officials.
The Enumclaw expo center, also known as the home to the King County Fair, will be what the release calls “the perfect setting to carry on the Creation tradition of paying ‘Tribute to our Creator,’” as Creation’s motto states.
It also will offer spectacular views of the beautiful northwestern U.S., organizers say.
“What a gorgeous place, with Mt. Rainier as the backdrop for the camping areas and the fairgrounds;” says Pastor Harry Thomas, co-founder and director of the Creation Festivals.
Creation Northwest is scheduled for July 21-24, 2010, while the Creation Northeast festival near Mount Union, Pa., will be June 30 to July 3.
Along with the scenery of the mountains, “green valleys and cooler temperatures, we are believing for the Lord to do great things for the thousands in attendance,” Pastor Thomas says about the new northwestern U.S. site.
