It’s that time of year again…the unveiling of what’s in store for another year of Pickathon fun. Hard at work with all the new bands, artwork, and new year beginnings.
For 2008, a grand celebration is being planned for the Festivals big 10th Annual.

August 1-3, 2008 – Pendarvis Farm – Happy Valley, OR.
…there it is, announcement of both dates and location…

On top of all this, we have been working with our good friends over at Mcmenamins for a few other shows that you should check out.

McMenamins Great Northwest Music Tour with Langhorne Slim!!
What a great way to shake off the rainy mid-winter blues. All the shows are free, and McMenamins offer outstanding packages for lodging, food and drink. Get on the Bus and see the state of Oregon…stay in style, and endure the fury of Slim and the War Eagles night after night!
The tour wraps up with a finale at the Crystal Ballroom for the Ballroom’s 94th Birthday free-for-all.

Pickathon will also host the entertainment in Ringlers Pub from 2pm-7pm…”Pickahton in the Pub” is what we are calling it. Cross Eyed Rosie, the Old Believers, and Sassparilla Jugband will help you shake your way through the Happy Hours. Come by..Say Hi!

April…to ring in Spring, we have invited the
the Avett Brothers to come back to our fair city and remind us of why we love, and need this band in our lives.
An amazing wave they are riding as of late – so expect the brothers to take no prisoners with their unabashed, all-out show.
April 10, 2008 – Crystal Ballroom – Tickets on Sale Now!
…this show WILL sell-out, so get your tickets now, and get a couple extra so you can take a friend or two…

February will bring the new 2008 Website, Line-Up Announcements, Pre-Sale Tickets..and the full ramp-up for yet another summer of fun in the Oregon Sun.

There we are…now bring on the new year.

Enjoy the Holidays!
