Artist Cale Moon preps for holiday gathering
The Pheasant hosts
ugly sweater party
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
It’s time to pull out the
ugly Christmas sweaters —
and party.
Nashville recording artist
Cale Moon is helping peo-
ple get warmed up prior to
Saturday’s (F)ugly Sweater
Party at The Pheasant Blue
Collar Bar & Grill, at The
Pheasant, 149 E. Main St.,
Hermiston. Moon will per-
form from 6-9 p.m. and the
party follows at 9 p.m. There
is no cover charge.
After playing an October
gig at The Pheasant, Gen-
eral Manager Deanne Jen-
sen said they were thrilled
when Moon contacted them
as he was on his way back
through the area. Jensen said
the up-and-coming coun-
try musician brought a lot
of energy and packed the
house.
“Everyone seemed to
love it,” she said. “He’s an
amazing artist and we want
to support someone who’s
local.”
Moon said he feeds off
the energy of the crowd.
Also, shows in the Colum-
bia Basin, he said, are extra
special.
“This region is where my
roots are, this is where my
music began,” Moon said.

Collar Bar & Grill is hosting an ugly sweater party Saturday night in Hermiston.
“So, it’s always great to
come back, relive those old
memories and make some
new ones while we’re at it.”
His family sold their
1,700-square-foot Tri-Cities
home more than a half dozen
years ago — embarking on
the road in a 40-foot recre-
ational vehicle as Moon pur-
sued his dream. He’s pretty
much been criss-cross-
ing the country for the past
seven years playing every-
where from small clubs,
main stages and rodeo are-
nas to wineries, beer gardens
and cowboy churches.
“I love the road and
everywhere it takes me,” he
said. “I can’t imagine life
any other way anymore.”
Moon encourages people
to come out — even if they
caught his recent perfor-
mance in the area. In addi-
tion to a number of his origi-
nals, Moon will tune up with
traditional Christmas stan-
dards, such as “Jingle Bells”
and ”Away in a Manger,”
as well as more recent hol-
iday hits. In addition, Moon
states he never plays the
same show twice.
“My set list and banter is
dependent on the crowd, so
it’s always changing, always
fresh,” Moon said.
As far as donning an ugly
sweater, Moon says that’s
where the line is drawn.
“All my clothing is spon-
sored and Panhandle West-
ern Wear just refuses to
make anything ugly,” he
said with a laugh.
After the performance,
get ready to celebrate during
the (F)ugly Sweater Party,
which includes DJ Diego
spinning tunes until the bar
closes. The evening features
drink specials, Jell-O shots
and an ugly sweater contest.
Jensen encourages people to
have fun with it — the win-
ners will be rewarded with a
trophy and prizes.
“It will be a lot of fun.
Come get (f)ugly with us,”
she said with a laugh.

Wrap up Oregon Blue Book
for the holidays
Santa left candy canes
at the library
The 2019–2020 Oregon Blue Book
came out earlier this year.
The state’s offi cial almanac and
fact book, the new edition of the Ore-
gon Blue Book could make a great
holiday gift for someone on your gift
list. The paperback book costs $18
and is available at bookstores across
the state, at the Oregon State Capital
and online at secure.sos.state.or.us/
prs/shopBlueBook.do.
Since 1911, the Oregon Blue Book
has been providing readers with
important and fascinating facts about
Oregon. Each edition of the book has
a different theme, highlighting Ore-
gon as a unique and fascinating place
to live or visit. The 2019–2020 edi-
tion spotlights Oregon’s local festi-
vals and community celebrations, cel-
ebrating a wide variety of uniquely
Oregon themes, from Portland’s roses
to McMinnville’s UFOs.
This edition of the Blue Book was
printed as a limited edition, with less
than 1,000 still available for sale. For
questions or to order by phone with a
credit card, call 503-986-2204.
A drop-in activity at the Hermiston

library Monday, Dec. 23 between
1-3 p.m. to fi nd the clues to the candy
canes. The library is located at 235 E.
