Annual Beaver Dam Jam Idaho Aug. 24 to Benefit Watershed Guardians;

Features Four Bands, Raffles, Food & More!

POCATELLO – The annual Watershed Guardians Beaver Dam Jam Idaho, to support beaver conservation, will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Aug. 24  at Lookout Point in Old Town Pocatello.

Billed as “a music event to help keep your watershed vibrant by protecting beaver,” the jam will feature four bands, food, raffles, kids activities, demonstrations, vendors, and organizations. This year’s theme is “Imagine the Possibilities.”

The four bands performing are:

• Touch of Grey
• Runestones
• Walther’s Wallpaper
• Jason Greene

There is no charge for the event, however, guests have the opportunity to donate and be entered into a raffle for an e-bike, and other items will be raffled.

Major event sponsors include Lookout Credit Union, Sportsman’s Warehouse, The Yellowstone Restaurant (providing food and donating a portion of proceeds to Watershed Guardians), and Elmer’s. A variety of other sponsors have also contributed.

Watershed Guardians benefits the Portneuf Watershed by helping beaver.  Proceeds from the events will support BeaverCount, a free winter event to census beaver colonies in the Portneuf Watershed.

“Funds raised help us pay for snowshoe and ski rental for our annual BeaverCount,” said Mike Settell, Watershed Guardians director. “ We don’t have a city, agency, or corporate entity covering operating expenses.  We are a 100% volunteer organization.  Your support helps fund projects such as BeaverDeceivers™, Pond Levelers™ and ISU scholarships.  Please join us August 24, 5-9 p.m. for some good music, fun and raffles!”
