Founded in 1981 by Les Lesieckie to promote the Cave Junction downtown business area, the Illinois Valley Wild Blackberry Arts and Crafts Festival has had a varied format over the years, but it has always striven to serve the interests of the downtown merchants.
We, the board of the Illinois Valley Wild Blackberry Festival, will do our best to continue to guide the organization in the highest traditions of its founders. Click on our names above for a picture and short bio of each of us.
