How it started
Dess Fest started after several years of family reunions held at the Lone Pine property owned by Wes & Julie Dess. Gathering every summer to camp & make memories around the fire it originally started as a karaoke fun and eventually evolved into discussions of hiring a band. The idea eventually got tabled as we did research and decided the cost didn't make sense for a smallish family gathering and then Covid hit. In 2021 we finally threw caution to wind and Dess Fest was born. We really just want to share the beautiful property, make new friends and even more memories!
