Come to hear about the various music acts and amusements at this year's Folk Festival.

Sol Estin, Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar will be our guest speaker.

Solamon “Sol” Estin was born in Bahia, Brazil and grew up between there and Ashland, Oregon. In 2010, Sol was awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Colombia, where he performed 10 months of teaching, academic advising, and research based at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellín. During that time, Sol developed his research background in the areas of international relations, public policy, economic development, urban planning, and student empowerment.

Sol recently participated in the State Department’s meetings for the US-Brazil Joint Action Plan on Racial and Ethnic Equality (JAPER) in Washington, DC.  He was also awarded a second post-graduate fellowship, a Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship, to study Political Science at the Master’s level at UFBa’s Schools of Social Sciences in Salvador.  Through this Fellowship, he has been able to serve the community of Bahia while also working toward his main passion: spurring socioeconomic development in Latin America.

Sol holds a B.A. with Honors in Political Studies, with an emphasis in International Political Economy and a Minor in Latin American Studies, from Pitzer College.

Ken Corhan, local Claremonter, will talk about achieving his goal of running marathons on 7 continents.

When not running marathons, Ken is very busy as a Board Member with the Claremont Educational Foundation.
