Country music fans can enjoy the
energetic live music of rising Ten-
nessee artist Brandon Lay on Friday,
Aug. 2, while taking in the beauti-
ful surroundings of The Retreat, Spa
and Links at Silvies Valley Ranch
during Nashville Nights in the
Valley.
Lay, who performed at the
Grande Ole Opry last year, has
opened for top award-winning coun-
try music artists Kenny Chesney,
Dierks Bentley, and Old Dominion
with his songs “Speakers, Bleach-
ers and Preachers” and “Yada Yada
Yada.”
Raised in Jackson, Tennessee,
Lay has been writing his experi-
ences in song, telling not only his
story but the stories of kids raised in
small town America.
“Brandon Lay has a gift of com-
manding people’s attention during
his performances, and we are thrilled
to welcome him and country fans
alike to this unique intimate Western
experience at Silvies Valley Ranch,”
said Silvies Valley Ranch General
Manager Colby Marshall.
Tickets to Nashville Night in
the Valley, starting at $75, include
a ranch-style barbecue dinner from
award-winning chef Damon Jones.
Tickets and overnight packages
are now available. To reserve your
spot, call 1-800-SILVIES (745-

Prairie City Ranger District
aquatic staff announced a tem-
porary road closure for Forest
Road 1665-478.
The closure is scheduled
from July 15 to Aug. 30. The
road will be closed to replace a
culvert as described in the Lit-
tle Crane Culvert Replacement
project.
The replacement of the
undersized culvert on the Forest
Road 1665-478 crossing over
Little Crane Creek is to pro-
vide passage for native aquatic
organisms at all life stages. Sed-
iment transport and streamflow
would be unimpeded at low and
high flow events.
Improving sediment trans-
port, retaining hydrologic con-
nectivity and protecting water
quality are critical to maintain-
ing resilient stream and ripar-
ian habitat that sustains water
and forage for multiple uses
while also contributing to the
recovery of North Fork Mal-
heur River Bull trout.

Little Crane Culvert Replace-
ment Project, visit https://www.

the road closure implementa-
tion, contact Chase Bloom at
