Have you ever heard an alphorn? Have you ever seen one? Well , it’s time you did.

We took a drive up to Leavenworth today, since I missed the Accordion Celebration back in June. It was a beautiful, warm day, in the 70s near us on the west side of the Cascades, and in the 90s in Leavenworth on the east side.

When we arrived in town, we found a place to park, and headed to the gazebo at the center of the main street.

Much to our surprise we saw that a local group was setting up to give a little alphorn concert.

Four horns and mascot

Here is a video I recorded of their concert.

Alphorns!

We have seen the horns before, but this was our first experience with multiple horns. So now, you can say you have seen and heard an alphorn.
