Dueling events share common goal
■ Fund-raisers for The Relief Nursery, Inc. this weekend
boast a variety of musical acts to attract support for the not
for-profit, children’s advocacy organization
By Tonya Alanez
Oregon Daily Emerald
It is purely by coincidence that
two separate, musically-packed
fund-raisers, both to benefit The
Relief Nursery, Inc., have
been scheduled back to
back this weekend.
The first event will take
place Friday night at the 1
WOW Hall, followed by the i
9th annual Secret House Win
ery Wine and Blues Festival on
Saturday and Sunday.
“We are very well supported
by our community,” said Julie
Tarter, development director of
The Relief Nursery. “Our com
munity realizes what terrible
risk some of our children are
at. Children have no
voice and our com
munitv helps in both^
large and small
ways.” ’
The Relief Nursery, at
1720 W. 25th Ave., is nearly
25 years old. It is a not-for-profit
organization with multiple pro
grams for high-risk children from
birth to six years of age. Risk fac
tors include physical, emotional
and sexual abuse, as well as inci
dents of neglect.
The nursery provides a thera
peutic preschool, outreach pro
grams and a variety of parent
ing classes for low-income
families.
“We’re not just a pre- !
school,” Tarter said. "To keep
children safe and families to- M
gether is our goal, We’re not §
just about kids, but giving *
parents what they need.” .ssT
Friday night’s musical 4
agenda features four local
bands. Ennis Bee, a four piece
rock ensemble, will open the
WOW Hall show and Fells
Acres, quoted in a press release
as “more cult than a band” will
also grace the stage. Welsh Rab
bit, “a power pop band with a
sound influenced by The Beatles,
r
Elvis Costello, Blur and Weezer”
will indulge in some musical
show and tell followed by
Marigold, the winners of the
1996 Eugene Celebration Battle
of the Bands and. National Ticket
master Music Showcase.
The Wine and Blues Festival at
the Secret House Winery, located
2.5 miles west of Veneta
off Highway 126, offers a
smorgasbord of enter
tainment, food, fun and
award-winning liba
tions.
“It’s going to be a
good show, a great
event, and a lot of fun with
plenty for the kids to do,”
said Patti Chappel, pro
prietor of
Secret
House
Winery.
The two
day festi
val, run
ning from 1
Marigold
uaiuiuaj' a.
m Sunday
will fea
ture na
tional blues
acts and enter
tainment for the
whole family, including arts and
crafts for the kids, a kids’ play
zone, dunk tank, hay rides, gour
met food and an assortment of
1
craft booths.
Musical guests include
Women in Blues, a group made
up of female artists from promi
nent bands throughout the
Northwest, who kick off the festi
val at approximately 1:45 p.m.
on Saturday. And Elvis, the se
quined King of Rock and Roll
himself, will be making an ap
pearance between the opening
and headlining acts on both
days. Saturday’s headliner is the
energetic mistress of blues, Linda
Hornbuckle.
On Sunday, the festival opens
with “hometown favorites,” the
Olem Alves Band, billed as “tal
ented new generation blues mu
sicians from the Eugene area.”
Paul deLay and his rockin’ blues
band will bring the festival to a
powerful close on Sunday.
It is largely due to The Relief
Nursery’s non-judgmental ap
proach in dealing with parents
with alcohol or drug problems
that Chappel says prompted her
to organize a fund-raiser to bene
fit the nursery “way back when.
“They do great work providing
help with parenting skills and re
covery,” Chappel said.
“People in my position, in
the alcohol business,
ought to give back to the
community in this way.
As a winery, I encourage
responsible consump
tion.”
Chappel sums up the
event as “gracious gour
met entertaining for the
whole family.”
Admission for the festi
val is $10 per adult, per
day, and children up to
age 18 are admitted
free with a parent.
