Bend, Oregon– Sept 1, 2013 – This weekend, September 6th, 7th and 8th in Sisters, Oregon, attendees of the 2013 Sisters Folk Festival can enter to win a guitar from the Northwest's premier manufacturer of stringed instruments, Breedlove Guitars. Beautiful in design, engineering and aesthetic, Breedlove's distinctively crafted sound has become the stuff of legend. Breedlove's craftsmanship is exceptional, and represents a benchmark for performance and value. Tickets for the Breedlove guitar drawing are available during the Festival.
