ByJulieZeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The second annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival was held Saturday at the State The- atre. The event began drawing crowds that filled the sidewalk outside the theater, spilling around the corner onto Washington Street about 15 minutes after the doors opened. Organizers said the 2014 event drew about 240 people and this year's was expected to draw dou- ble that number. The night, hosted by Red Bluff native Brandon Davison as emcee, was a fundraiser for the Te- hama Conservation Fund, the nonprofit arm of the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County, in collaboration with the Sacramento River Discovery Center, said Brin Greer, district watershed coordinator. The event served as a debut for the Tehama Conservation Fund, which was formed in the spring, and featured several short films varying from 2 to 18 minutes along with about 10 infor- mation booths. "The films allow us to bring a wide variety of topics to get people talking," Greer said. "This event is a way for the community to start hav- ing a conservation conversation." Margie Duey of Red Bluff attended the event with a friend and said she liked the variety of topics as well as the films using different ap- proaches to the topics, from serious to silly and even daring. Scott Chandler said he attended because he loves the outdoors and wanted to support the group running the event. Robb Gage and Emma Jesse of Gage's Fly Fish- ing and Eco Tours out of Chico attended with an informational booth in hopes of getting more people out on the river to enjoy the wildlife. "It's a great way for people to listen to each other and share stories," Jesse said. "We want to incite a passion for experiencing the nature that's in our own backyard." The pair work closely with Bobie Hughes of the Sacramento River Discovery Center, Gage said. "We want to support local efforts for preserv- ing our beautiful river that we have in our back- yard," Gage said.
