Bluegrass and BBQ in Logsden

Chase the blues away and enjoy the company of friends old and new at the fourth annual Logsden Community Club Bluegrass Picnic this Saturday, July 19.

Bring a lawn chair, a picnic lunch and munch away while listening to the bluegrass sounds of Banjo Bobby Llewellyn and Friends. The band, made up of local bluegrass pickers, plays bluegrass and country music on traditional acoustic instruments, including stand-up doghouse bass, banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin and dobro.

Hot dogs, burgers and soft drinks will be for sale on site. Games for kids, a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle will round out the day.

The Logsden Community Club is a nonprofit organization made up of civic minded friends and neighbors who strive to enhance the quality of life in the area. The organization donates a portion of its profits back to the community including the Siletz Valley Fire District, Bright Horizons Therapeutic Riding Center, Food Share of Lincoln County and more. Club membership meets for monthly potlucks often featuring educational presentations and other times for fun and socialization.

Located at the junction of the Logsden/Siletz Highway and Moonshine Park Road, the club is situated on an historic site where the local school once sat. Today’s facility, built in the 1980s, is available to rent for local gatherings including weddings, birthdays, classes, family reunions and other events.

Saturday’s picnic runs from noon to 4 pm. Admission is $10 per family, $5 per individual and free to members of the Logsden Community Club. For more information, email Guy Faust at logsden1@gmail.com or go to the Logsden Community Club Facebook Page.
