Join us for the third annual of this event.

It will be at Morgan Lake in 2008!

What: A very relaxed weekend of camping and spontaneous acoustical Bluegrass & Old Time jamming. There will be no stages, band performances, or contests. You may want to leave your watch at home. You are on your own schedule.

Where: In the scenic Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. The 2008 event will be at Morgan Lake just five miles from La Grande. Free camping at the lake or stay in a motel with just a short drive to town.

When: August 1-3, 2008, Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. If you can't come for the whole weekend and live close by, just come for a day or whenever you can.

Who: Bluegrass fans: musicians, listeners and families are very welcome.

Why: FUN!

Chat'n'Chew: Potluck dinner Saturday around 5:00 p.m.

Back again by popular demand: Dutch oven cobbler both Friday and Saturday evenings.

Other: Some of numerous possible unscheduled activities that you might choose to do include fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, cross stitch, painting, photography, sight seeing in the area, mountain biking, swimming, and napping (is that an activity?).

Some folks might sing along to the songs. Roasting marshmallows over a campfire is always popular. And you never know, with some good toe tapping music going on, some dancing might just break out.

The Union County Fair also happens the same weekend. Click HERE for activities in the Grande Ronde valley.

Sunday morning Gospel jam, followed by a message by Wade Twilegar, Associate Pastor of Calvary Chapel of La Grande.

Bring binoculars! Wildlife viewing opportunities abound. I've seen bald eagles and other fisher birds dive into the lake and carry out trout.

Bald Eagles live at the lake.
