This is the Jesse Marunde memorial show. It is a pro and Jesse's training crew only show. It looks like a lot of fun to watch .

They could not of used a different name? Anything with irrigation in it to me feels like a farming festival...

Too much history. You don't just CHANGE the name of a community festival.
"The Sequim Irrigation Festival celebrates the work that D.R. "Crazy" Callen and his partners did to design and develop the Irrigation Ditches that brought water from the Dungeness River to the parched prairie. The first headgate on the Dungeness River was lifted on May 1, 1895. On May 1, 1896 the first celebration took place at Crazy Callen's farm. This was the start of a tradition that would become the oldest continuing festival in Washington state. 2012 will be the 117th Sequim Irrigation Festival."
