StrangeBrew BeerFest

StrangeBrew BeerFest #5: "The Strange, The Weird, and the Skunky". The concept is simple: Local breweries are invited to create a "strange brew" a unique beer that no one has ever tasted. Beer will be sampled, Spaghetti Western get-ups will be proudly worn, BBQ will be served, tasting glasses will be provided, t-shirts will be shamelessly promoted, and everyone will get tickets to vote for their favorite Strange Brew. Plus: beer games, music by the The No Good Redwood Ramblers and Sumbitch all under the watchful eye of emcee Chuck Rogers of The Point. All proceeds benefit Eureka Theater restoration projects. Pre-sale tickets are available online or at the Eureka Theater Box Office

Halloween Boogie

Halloween festivities start early this year with the 2012 Halloween Boogie this Saturday October 27th at the Mateel Community Center in Redway. Hosted by KMUD Radio and the Mateel, this year’s Boogie, will feature Diego’s Umbrella, Monkey and Candelaria, three popular Bay Area bands who were also favorites at the 2012 Summer Arts and Music Festival. The boogie is costume optional but most folks take this opportunity to come incognito, alter-egoed, or otherwise embellished, from the ridiculous to the sublime. Much ado is made of the costume contest with prizes going to audience favorites. Doors open at 7pm. Beer, wine and snacks will be available. Tickets will be available for $23 in advance, and $25 at the door at all the usual outlets and online at Mateel.org.
