Thank you!! The 2010 Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival was a record-breaking success!

Stellar performances, enthusiastic volunteers, committed sponsors and generous blues fans helped make the 23rd Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival, presented by First Tech Credit Union, a rousing success.

Blues fans set a new record, donating about $650,000 and exceeding this year’s $600,000 goal. Blues fans also exceeded this year’s food goal of 100,000 pounds, donating 100,662 pounds of food. In addition, the Oregon Potters Association’s Empty Bowls sales contributed $17,800 to support Oregon Food Bank’s mission.
