Daffodil Hill Lavender Festival 2008
 |
We're back!
Once again we'll be celebrating summer with our third Lavender Festival. It will be the last weekend in June, starting on the evening of the 27th. We'll be kicking it off with the Preview Party, from 6 to 9, featuring the wonderful music by Joe and Janet (we loved them in 2006), gourmet appetizers by Evelyn and Michelle (they do it up right!), served once again by the Colorado contingency and our pals from Bainbridge Island, plus the ever popular award winning wines of Eola Hills Wine Cellars. The artisans will be on hand with all their specialties. It will be another magical evening in wine country. Tickets ($20) will be limited and reservations will be taken, starting in April. To make your reservation, please call Kelly Hadley at 503 566-7376.
Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29, the Festival hours will be 10 to 5. Plan to come enjoy a delicious lunch by Cafe Today, lattes and cold drinks from Rick's Place and wine from Eola Hills Wine Cellars while relaxing on a quilt and listening to the live music of LouAnn Cash Ritts and the Cash Country Band (so much fun!). We'll have a shuttle from the pasture parking up to the event or you can take your time meandering up the lane. There will be a one time $5 admission fee (children free).
This year we're especially excited about our lineup of artisans.

There will also be two wonderful women from the east coast, Posy Lough and Ceil Humphreys, coming to share their skill by offering a cross stitch kit of a sachet you can create and fill with lavender while you're here. They will also have other kits available.
And don't forget - u-pick lavender!
With this wonderful lineup, great food and wine, entertaining music, all in a beautiful setting and relaxing atmosphere, you've just gotta come, cause this is gonna be good!

 | | At Marion Street Bridge, go west on Hwy 22 about 6 miles (just past the sign for the Independence turnoff). Turn right at Oak Grove Rd. (next to Restlawn Cemetery). Go to the stop sign; turn right past the little church. The first road you'll come to will be Crowley, turn right – its gravel. It's the second left – it's a wooden rail fence, 6435. |
