Field Games: These games are geared for the whole family. The Egg and Water Balloon Tosses are divided into three age groups and a pair of winners receives a prize from the sponsor in each. Candy in the Hay is divided into age groups as well with each kids’ loot as their prize (parents are only involved in this activity when they sneak candy from their kids’ bag!).egg catch 2_cropped

Raffle: We have an ever-growing list of raffle prizes that will be grouped into at least 10 categories like “The Great Outdoors”, “Pamper Yourself”, “Family Fun” and “A Night Out” to name a few, and a few larger prizes that will be raffled on their own. It takes only one ticket to enter to win any prize except two tickets for the top prizes.  Someone has to win and it might as well be you!

Whiskey HillStage Shows:The free stage shows are sponsored by the Damascus Civic Club this year. Whiskey Hill Jazz Club is a group of talented youths who have wowed the crowds at the festival for five years. It’s impossible to sit still when Sunburst Classic Rock plays favorites from a variety of decades.  We have also showcased the truly amazing abilities of Portland Teen Idol contestants.

Food Booths:Thanks to generous donations from Safeway, Dairy Queen, Tire Factory of Gresham and Hawaiian Beanz Coffee, the Snack Shack will offer hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, soda, water and iced coffee and chai drinks.  Papa Murphy’s will be serving pizza and chocolate chip cookies from their mobile kitchen.   Sno-cones will be available to satisfy the worst thirst.  Prices are kept low so you can stay all day, feed the family and still have enough to play games-nothing on the menu is more than 4 tickets ($2.00)!
