MILTON-FREEWATER — This week-
end’s music festival is new, but also old.
It’s roots are the Muddy Frogwater
Festival, which was traditionally held
the third weekend in August in Milton-
Freewater.
Now the music-fi lled event, called
Weekend @ the Blues, is moving to July
to coincide with the Pro West @ the Pos-
se Rodeo.
Although the two events are sep-
arate, and held at diff erent places, it
made sense to off er one activity-fi lled
weekend.
“We’re kind of piggybacking on each
other,” said Kim Munk, who is helping
organize the music festival.
The music festival, also in the park,
gets going that day with Last Call at
5:30 p.m. followed by Stompin’ Ground
from 8-10 p.m.
On Saturday, July 30, vendors open
at 9 a.m., and the Weekend @ The Blues
parade starts at 11 a.m. on North Main
Street.
Entertainment kicks off at noon with
Folkloreico Estrella de Mexico.
Afternoon music features:
• 1 p.m.: Del Norte
• 3 p.m.: Feedback
• 5 p.m.: The Wasteland Kings
• 8 p.m.: Coyote Kings
Admission is free to the music festival.
Another feature of the weekend are
city-wide yard sales July 29, 30 and 31.
Maps will be available and can be found
online at www.weekendattheblues.com.
