The Susanville Bluegrass Festival
Will be held from Tuesday, June 22nd through Sunday, June 27th, 2010. The actual music will be starting on Friday morning, the 25th, and will run through Sunday afternoon, the 27th. The festival will be held at the Lassen County Fairground in Susanville, California. The fairground is located at the East end of the city and is accessed through the main entrance on Fairgrounds Rd. This wonderful facility features over 75 RV camping sites with electric and water hook-ups, marvelously shaded main stage seating, bathrooms with showers, easy access to town and shopping and a whole lot more. For those who want to camp with either RV's or tents, you will be able to access the fairground at 12 noon on Tuesday the 22nd. This event will feature three days of bluegrass music, a large craft fair, a car show, a square dance and an indoor, air-conditioned room for the quilters with music from the stage piped in so the quilters don't miss anything. In addition to the bands, Lance Brown will be featured as Will Rogers. Lance is the premier Will Rogers impersonator in the country today. There will also be a children's program each day (Friday - Sunday) and workshops will be held during the lunch and dinner breaks. Three day advanced sale tickets for adults will be $30, and will be available at the gate for $45. A three day advanced sale teen ticket will be $10 and will be available at the gate for $20. Children 12 and under will be free with a paid adult. Camping will be $10 for each night you stay...be it RV or tent. So, a family with two adults and two teenagers could purchase advanced sale tickets, attend the festival and camp for five nights for a total of $130. Pets are welcome at this event! The rules on pets are quite simple, really. Keep control of your animal. When you have them out either keep them on a leash while walking, or keep them restrained while at your campsite. Clean up any messes your pet makes. No pets in the audience area.
Entertainment: Lance Brown as Will Rogers, Rita Hosking and Cousin Jack, The Dalton Mountain Band, California Borderline, Shades of Blue, The Anderson Family, Piney Creek Weasels, Snap Jackson and the Knock On Wood Players, Wild Horse Drive, Wild Creek, Trusting Heart
