Weed for Artists!

The Siskiyou and Weed Arts Councils hosted a fundraiser in Downtown Weed at the Black Butte Saloon. There was everything from Live Music including local talents of Chic Music, Christopher Primm, and Strange Brew. There was an art show featuring Weed Arts Council Memebers, a silent auction, and an awesome belly dance performance from the Mountain Gypsies!

The Arts Councils brought in local celebrity guest bartenders including the Mayor of Weed, Dave Pearce, local musician Banjo Billy, Lauri Sturdivant (executive Director of the Siskiyou Arts Council), and Randy Lawerence from College of the Siskiyous in Weed. The tips raised during their time bartending went towards supporting the arts.

Let's all remember to support the ARTS in every community, it makes a difference!

This is going to be an awesome night!! I've been browsing around the Tap KIDS website.... very impressed, here's the link http://www.tapkids.com/

Weed / COS –College of the Siskiyous Performing Arts Series announces great seats are still available! TAP KIDS will perform at the College of the Siskiyous in the Kenneth W. Ford Theater on Sunday, February 7, 2010 beginning at 4 p.m. In a series of musical vignettes, TAP KIDS tells the story of a group of high‐school kids facing challenges both mundane and momentous as they prepare for the big school dance at the end of the day and ultimately, for graduation at the end of their senior year. With an original score and dazzling choreography, TAP KIDS takes this traditional dance form to new heights in an electrifying performance that is hip, contemporary, and uplifting.

Dj Rigatoni Rocked the Black Butte Saloon

The place was packed, folks were lined up and down the street waiting to get into the place!! It was an amazing night of dancing and laughing with friends and neighbors! People were coming in from all over the region for the much awaited opening of the Black Butte Saloon. There's a line up of music for Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, (and a safety shuttle to get you home:)

Rollin' Weed ~ Street Fair

What? Rollin' Weed.... what is that about? Well, it is in reference to all the cars, bikes, and trucks rolling down town for our annual show and shine competition. This year we had over 70 applicants, 43 street vendors, a delicious food court, special deals at local Main St. Businesses, art show receptions at our local galleries, a quilt show at the Mercantile Mall, and a fruit and veggie exchange!!! It was an amazing display of what community spirit is all about!! There was Belly dancing from local dancers "lava Lotus Dancer", Live music from "Rival" a local rock band, and an amazing array of art vendors, crafters, flea market, and more!!!

This is the 2nd year that the Weed Chamber of Commerce and the Weed Arts Council have worked together on this event and it is, hands down, been a great effort from both groups! To get involved with the event for next year, contact us at the Weed Chamber of Commerce, weedchamber@ncen.org
