Well, this weekend was the summer concert series in Oakridge at the Siuslaw amphitheater and it was a lot of fun. I was there on Sunday and enjoyed the music of Taylor's Crossing and Amy Clawson. Taylor's Crossing started about 2 and played until 4. Amy cam on at about 6 and went until the close at 8 p.m.
In two weeks, they are hosting the 3rd anual Mardi Gras fundraiser for the for Musician's Village in New Orleans featuring Kelly Thibodeaux & The E'Touffee Band. This week there was bar-b-que chicken and sausages on sale along with a beer and wine garden. The prices were excellent too, a chicken dinner was only $5 and was mouth watering good. The Mardi Gras features cajun food and the beer garden will be back.
The venue is gorgeous with the amphitheater backing up to the river. There was plenty of space for everyone, but a decent crowd showed up. You should bring your own chair or blanket. Donations are gratefully accepted.
The weather was as nice as could be and the drive uneventful from Springfield. Highway 58 is undergoing some construction near Pleasant Hill and Lowell, but overall there were no major slowdowns. I plan on going back for Mardi Gras, I hope to see you all there.
Looks like you had great weather for this too! A Great Highlight for Localism!
