  "textContent": "The Beacon has always been looking for an excuse to work with young reporters, but it's taken a cool arts festival to make that dream a reality.\n\nThis weekend, we're bringing together youth reporters Ave Arroyo, Ben Shafer and CJ Fisher to cover the three-day arts festival. We also have Beacon arts reporter Diane Urbani de la Paz on hand to help cover all of the extensive happenings, and Editor Nhatt Nichols on site each day to mentor our Youth Reporting Lab (YRL) participants and get everything online.\n\nWant to follow along as Soundcheck happens? That's easy! Bookmark the page below and keep checking back over the weekend. You can also check out the Sound Check schedule here.\n\nSoundcheck Art & Music FestivalSoundcheck Arts & Music Festival in Port Townsend 2/27-3/1The Jefferson County BeaconRoss Pruden\n\nWe're referring to this as a lab for a reason: this is definitely an experiment for the Beacon, so we're excited to have both your feedback and your patience.\n\nHuge thanks to Katy Goodman, Arts & Culture Coordinator with the City of Port Townsend, for bringing this awesome idea our way, and to Alyssa de Leon, Program Manager for Creative Youth Development at Centrum, for introducing us to our YRL participants.\n\nSee you at Soundcheck!\n\nNhatt Nichols,\nEditor",
