BUDSTOCK Ready for the 6th Anniversary
August 27
Since 2015, a small group of people have worked each summer to present an all day music festival called BUDSTOCK. But without the help of local clubs, organizations, individuals, companies, stores and restaurants, it could not have grown to the level it has now reached. The volunteers and musicians are preparing for the 6th annual BUDSTOCK to be held on August 27 at the Flaming Foliage lot in Renovo. The Music starts at 10:00 a.m.
They are proud to present a varied group of individuals who come together and give enjoyment of live music to Renovo and surrounding areas.
These musicians work very hard and long hours to arrive at the place where they can perform live music. And BUDSTOCK organizers hope you will enjoy the presentations of these fine musicians.
Organizer, Gary Eberhart said “please come out and support all of these musicians who give of their time and talents to perform at a live venue. It takes a lot of time and effort to accumulate the musicians who are performing for you and we appreciate your support of their hard work and lifelong dedication to performing for you. All in all we are excited about this year‘s Budstock music festival.”
In addition to all the music, we have a new T-shirt design that will be available for sale, raffle ticket prizes and the always popular gift baskets raffle under the management of Michelle Reeves.
If anyone is interested in donating a basket, Michelle would be happy to hear from you at (814) 341 5841, or you can contact Gary at (570) 660 4176. Raffle tickets are still for sale with over 40 great prizes and the list is growing.
With only 1000 tickets being sold the chances are pretty good. (better odds than the lottery) The first prize again this year is a Woolrich blanket made in the USA…followed by a family gift voucher to MillBrook Playhouse for their Christmas performance and much more.
Food will be provided by Renovo Heritage Park. They will be providing a variety of foods including hamburgers and hotdogs and we are glad to announce a favorite ice cream vendor Dippys homemade ice cream will be back this year. A new vendor Da Pit Texas barbecue will be serving many scrumptious food items and are looking forward to being at BUDSTOCK
It will be a wonderful fun full day of music that you won’t want to miss. Bring your friends and family and a chair to join us for the Budstock Music Festival 2022.
