Albion River Bridge Musical Benefit May 6 at Albion River Inn

Everyone is invited to celebrate the Albion River Bridge, one of our community's most emblematic -- and threatened -- historic treasures, at a musical benefit sponsored by the Albion Bridge Stewards on Sunday, May 6, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Albion River Inn.

Featured local musicians extraordinaire include Steven Bates (voice, guitar & mandolin) and Butch Kwan (voice, guitar, violin). Poet ruth weiss will be accompanied by Pilar Duran (guitar) and Hal Davis (percussion).

Laurie York and Carmen Goodyear, award-winning local filmmakers, will be showing their short film called Bridging the Gap.

Built during World War II, the Albion River Bridge is the only remaining timber trestle bridge along California's scenic Highway 1. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources.
