2 free tix! 3 Day Music Festival in Beautiful Central Oregon The 2nd Annual Newberry Event, the biggest music event/campout of the summer is next weekend! Organized by my friends and neighbors, it's for a great cause but more importantly it's 3 days of fun, food, music, arts, silent auction, river-floating, camping... I'll be there helping out all 3 days so I'll buy a beer for any S2ers that attend. http://www.newberryevent.com/ The 2nd Annual NEWBERRY EVENT Music & Arts Festival to Defeat MS July 25, 26 & 27th, 2014 In 2013, Doug and Gloria Watt started with a goal: To help give exposure to our local musicians, artisans, and crafters, and at the same time, raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. With the help of big names like Terry Robb, Lino Alessio, and Folk Rock Legends Brewer & Shipley (The "One Toke Over the Line" boys), they put on one of the biggest events South Central Oregon (Newberry Country) has ever seen! This year, be thrilled to hear performances by Craig Chaquico (formerly of Jefferson Starship & Starship). "America's Favorite Cowboys" Riders in the Sky, Pigs on the Wing, Rose's Pawn Shop, Vagabond Opera, Louis Landon, and the return of Brewer and Shipley! Other returning artists are Melody Guy, Voice of Reason, & local bands Voodoo Highway, Wampus Cat, The Rum and the Sea. New bands are Patrimony, Cheyenne West & more. Three fun filled days are more than music. Local artisans and crafters offer some of the best all-natural handcrafted goods. You'll enjoy great food vendors, & Sunriver Brewing micro-brews. Crater Lake Spirits distillery is hosting a 2nd stage! Fine wines are served, & the local Lions Club hosts onsite pancake breakfasts. The beautiful setting has open meadows and shady forest. Camping sites are complimentary with ticket.
