We feel we’ve finally found a home that could become permanent - Pendarvis Farm, a location that is in the Portland Metro area and yet it’s location in Happy Valley, with Mt Hood as the backdrop to the stage this year, couldn’t be more bucolic. This year’s line up is spectacular and includes Iris Dement, Greg Brown, Danny Barnes and Kelly Joe Phelps to name a few as well as my favorites, The Avett Brothers. The site is phenomenal with tons of camping in the forest, plenty of room for RV’s and tons of day parking for those that don’t want to camp out for the weekend. Our selection of vendors this year exceeds last so we feel we have everything covered when it comes to food, drinks and other amenities. Once again we have two stages but unlike previous years we are running later on Saturday night as we can move indoors to a third stage in a barn with a bar for those of you 21 and over. Some advance tickets are still available through Pickathon.com but there will be ample tickets available at the gate.
