This Way Up at the La Honda Fair 2017
by craig eddy
It’s festival season!! Having just returned from the Strawberry Music Festival I am so thrilled that music festival season is underway. The next festival I help put on is our own La Honda Country Fair and Music Festival. In an age where anger, mistrust and downright hate seem to be the norm we must remember that the majority of citizens are decent folks, we just don’t get the press. Our local Fair is an example of people of different views on things can still gather and celebrate life and community. June 16 and 17th will once again be a time to meet neighbors and friends in the awesome La Honda gardens (thanks Charlie) and enjoy the art, crafts, and music of our local area. We truly live in a special area and I love being involved in creating a weekend where we can celebrate that. The festival this year kicks off with a Friday night dance party on the café patio featuring local icons Nigel Webb and This Way Up. Dance party starts at 7:30. On Saturday the fair gets going with the usual kids parade with some of the local kids doing some music at 10:30. On Sunday 11am there will be a kick off with a songwriter round robin featuring three of our local songwriters. Following that will be a set by Morris and the Cats a tribute to Henry Morris a local long time music icon. On Saturday I am excited to bring back Coast Tribe a bunch of young visionary musicians that see a better world down the road. Yes it is a full weekend but what a weekend! Bring dad to town for Fathers Day and make a memorable weekend of it!
