The dance and all of the activities for this two-day fundraiser will be held at the RV Grange located at 8650 East Road, Redwood Valley. On Friday the doors will open at 5:30 and the music will be from 6:00 to 11:00pm. Saturday, activities will begin at noon until 5:00pm with a BBQ and live music.. The documentary film, “Redwood Complex Fire” will be shown at 4:00pm.
The Redwood Valley Grange is considered by many as the heart of the community, especially since the Redwood Complex Fire, when the RV Grange served as the main meeting place for information, services, and support. The funds from this benefit will be targeted soley for the needed new roof. The last new roof was installed in 1967, and in more recent years it has been an ongoing project of patching the roof. A new roof is the only feasible option, and the goal is to have a new roof installed before the next winter rains.
Pad Thai meals, drinks, and desserts will be available for purchase. Music will be provided by The Live Oaks, a throwback folk and roll band from Oakland that pays homage to late ‘60s, early ‘70s pop music, music that gets you movin’; another Bay Area group, SpeakEase, a blend of soul, funk, rock, blues, and folk into ‘a curated hot plate of musical vibrations that will be sure to move your soul and leave you dancing’; and music by Friends of the Grange. There will also be a children’s area for their enjoyment.
The Saturday activities are free with a BBQ of baby-back ribs, chicken, salad, potatoes and yams offered at $15 per person. A bake sale, beer and wine will also be available. Live music will
be presented by a Mendocino County group, The Eclectic Coyotes, described as old school country blues with some boogie punk.
Raffle tickets will be available for sale both days for an array of exciting prizes and winners will not have to be present to claim their winnings. Among the many raffle items to be won will be:
a Husky rolling tool tote, Skikes cross-country ski skates, Big Sky Nursery plants, five yards of old garden compost delivered, cases of wine, and more.
Sponsors for both days include: Apperson Energy Management, Little Bakers Market, Mendo Mill, Down to Earth Landscaping, Mendocino Greenhouse, Friedman Brothers, Frey Vineyards, Flow Kana, North American Organics, Lagunitas Brewing Company, and Barra of Mendocino.
