KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Stop by the Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum on Sunday, July 3, to celebrate America’s Independence with some toe-tapping Americana music.
Musicians will play in the Ely barn from noon until 2 p.m.
Attendees will be treated to “old timey” tunes and sing-a-longs with the musicians likely adding some patriotic ditties for this special weekend. Bring the whole family to this free event.
Enjoy the music with beverages and tasty treats provided by the Ely volunteers. Enjoy a picnic in the oak grove. Bring your own wine and sip it in Ely Stage Stop wine glasses that are available for purchase.
There will be the regular monthly raffle near the end of the jam and the opportunity to purchase tickets for a “quilt” raffle that will celebrate a winner later in the year. Those items will be on display in the barn during the jam.
Come early and enjoy the latest exhibits in the house and on the grounds. Take a hayride or stroll the new barn trail. See our new permanent outdoor stage, built the Mendocino College Construction Fundamentals Class, taught by Lake County contractor Glenn Mueller.
Donations made during the jam benefit both the Ely Stage Stop, helping to fund the construction of the blacksmith shop, and the Old Time Fiddlers Association District 10, who uses it to partially fund their scholarship programs.
