WHAT'S NEW: CAMEL RIDES ON THE BEACH; MUSHROOM COOK-OFF; OREGON BOUNTY |
BEACH CAMEL RIDES
No kidding.
We're bringing two camels to the beach in Lincoln City for free rides on Saturday, September 19. West Coast Camels (www.westcoastcamels.com) may stick around on Sunday and charge a modest fee for rides. But Saturday is your best bet for a
chance to ride (and probably find yourself on YouTube) astride a humped ruminant quadroped with the Pacific Ocean in the background!
We see an eye-catching holiday greeting card in your future!
...Oh, and did we mention the snake dancer?
LINCOLN CITY - A GREAT PLACE TO TRY NEW THINGS!
MUSHROOM COOK-OFF
The food festivals have been such a hit that we added a new one - a Mushroom Cook-off on October 3. It will be held in the Culinary Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Enjoy mushroom themed dishes from restaurants all over the state. General
admission is free. Small charge for tastings.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH SPECIALS; HAABY SPANISH GUITAR CONCERT PART OF BEACHSIDE CONCERT SERIES |
HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH SPECIALS
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, a number of Lincoln City lodging properties are offering special packages and discounts. For information on those, please call the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau at 800-452-2151.
BEACHSIDE CONCERT SERIES
Lincoln City's inaugural "Summer Sunsets" Beachside Concert Series will be held on September 12, 19 and 26 at Taft Waterfront Park located on SW 51st Street on the south end of Lincoln City.
Each concert of the series will be performed through sunset on its scheduled day. The three FREE shows will all feature family friendly danceable music to be heard and enjoyed either stage side or on the beachside by those who decide to
stake their claim on the nearby beach in the Historic Taft District of Lincoln City.
The kick-off concert of the series will be performed by the Verbtones of Portland, Oregon. Playing on September 12th from 6 p.m. through sunset, this high energy surf-rock band plays up and down the west coast all year, and will be right
at home playing on the beaches of their home state. Complete with their own "Go Go" dancer, the Verbtones truly are the whole package!
As a special dual experience, the performance on September 19th by Rose City Swing, will not only be the featured act for the Summer SunSet of the day, but is also the night time entertainment for the annual Iris Pride street fair, Lincoln
City's gay pride event.
For the final SunSet of the season, Todd Haaby and Sola Via will keep the night alive with their award winning Spanish Guitar style.
TODD HAABY BIO
One of six siblings, Todd's musical influences started at a young age. Raised in Northern California, Todd's mother Pat encouraged all of her children to explore their musical abilities by teaching them the basics of music and music
theory.
By age 15, Todd received his first guitar as a birthday gift, not knowing that it would prove to be a life changing event . Realizing his new found passion for this instrument, he dedicated the coming months to constant practice, only
showing his face for the occasional PB&J sandwich. Within six months, Todd formed his first band becoming lead guitarist, fulfilling a personal goal. The next three years opened many doors to incredible opportunities which included live
concerts, clubs, and radio performances. At age 18 Todd was asked to perform live with Grammy Award-Winning artist Phil Driscoll.
After many years of experimenting with a variety of musical genres, Todd, then 24, was introduced to the sounds of Spain. Attracted by the fiery passion of Latin music, this would mark a turning point in Todd's musical direction. With a
growing love of Spanish music and the fortunate opportunity to travel abroad, Todd developed a unique style all his own.
From riffs he learned as a kid listening to Edward Van Halen, to the explosive sounds of the Gypsy Kings, Todd has combined all of his musical experiences to write and define a flavor of music indicative of Nuevo Flamenco.
