This August, the Mount Hood Jazz Festival will return to its roots, and take place on the Mount Hood Community College campus, where it began over twenty-five years ago.  Here’s the info from the press release on the festival website:

The Mt. Hood Jazz Festival and Mt. Hood Community College have joined forces again to provide an exciting musical and cultural collaboration for the 2008 Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, taking place August 15 and 16. Renowned for its excellent jazz performances, the festival returns to Mt. Hood Community College where it originally began in 1981. But the 2008 event will be unlike any jazz festival that has been produced before. Organizers from both the Jazz Festival and MHCC are working to make the new Jazz Festival an experience for the whole family. College programs will provide hands-on workshops for festival goers that could include experiences in everything from art activities to rock wall climbing.
