Hootenanny FAQ

WHAT'S THE VIBE?
Think sitting around a campfire minus the campfire. Think backyard BBQ minus the grill. Think Crosby, Stills, and Nash WITH Young. Think the best night of summer camp with a bar, and a buffet. Add childcare to that!

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH CHILDCARE/IS THE EVENT CHILD FRIENDLY?
Childcare is extra hands when your kid doesn't want to do what you want to do. A place to park your kid if they are bored while you are talking to your friends or singing Neil Young songs. Craft tables and all.

DO I NEED TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT TO ATTEND?
Nope! Stand around with friends, a glass of wine in hand, and hum along to your favorite tunes played live! If you feel like joining the band, please do! We will have songbooks!!

WHAT KIND OF SONGS ARE WE SINGING?
All the good ones that make your heart ache and your spirit rise, you know, the ones you know all the words to.

WHAT'S THE FOOD SITUATION?
A buffet of deliciousness is included in the cost of a ticket!

WHERE IS THE HOOTENANNY HAPPENING?
All the HOOTING takes place in the box which will be transformed into a loungy cozy music salon.
