Last chance barn dance August 30, 2008

HERE'S WHAT UP WITH LCBD3: 2008

The Last Chance Barn dance is more of an open party than a festival. But next Labor Day Weekend (Aug 30-Sept. 1, 2008), we're hosting two nights of family-friendly music and camping in a beautiful barn at the Trailhead Bed & Breakfast in Trout Lake, WA. This is just north of Hood River, OR and about 90 minutes from downtown Portland.

Admission at the gate, no advance tickets.

The music runs from roughly 7pm-1am. The music lineup so far (in reverse order) looks like:

Saturday, 8/30:
FREAK MOUNTAIN RAMBLERS
THE CRACKPOTS
THE BINGO BAND
JACKSTRAW (electric)
LEWI LONGMIRE

Sunday, 8/31:
FREAK MOUNTAIN RAMBLERS
PIANO THROWERS
FERNANDO
the QUICK AND EASY BOYS
LITTLE SUE BAND
JACKSTRAW (acoustic- afternoon set on the porch)

NO DOGS!
NO OPEN FIRES!

We cannot guarantee a beer gardern this year, but we will have at least one food vendor. You should prepare and bring some kind of food for yourselves (and some to share), but we won't let you starve to death. You can bring grills and BBQs as well. Also, there are stores and restaurants nearby in Trout Lake proper, but they close fairly early. Plan your shopping wisely!

There are lots of interesting hikes and day activities to keep you busy on the Sunday afternoon between the two shows. We're working on hosting an outdoor acoustic show on Sunday afternoon as well, as a bonus for folks staying on site.

The community of Trout Lake also hosts a SATURDAY MARKET full of country goods, homemade pies and such from 10am-5pm on Aug. 30th at the local Grange Hall.

They are also having their annual RUMMAGE SALE all weekend long just down the road from the Barn.

Please take some time to check out these local events, we'd like to help support the local community, and not just breeze in, rock out all night, and split. Let's meet the locals!
