The Helvetia Culture Fest

Our 3rd annual Helvetia Culture Fest was a resounding success!  Over 200 people attended, enjoying the spectacular view from Accoyo Norte at Pacific Crest Alpacas, eating delicious Helvetia Tavern burgers and Beaverton Bakery pies, drinking local wine and beer from Helvetia Winery and Vertigo Brewing, and enjoying entertainment from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, the Helvetia Alphorns, Shelby Aeppli Imholt, and Michelle and the Beards.

Below are some pictures from the 2011 Helvetia Culture Fest.
