Friday, October 31st
*Halloween at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse: To quote McMenamins:."Musical entertainment provided by SPIGOT. Imagine a scrap metal heap. A steamy compost pile, A splintery porch swing. Green gutter water. A pack of flea-ridden ferrals. Best put, SPIGOT burps out an urban-rural-junkyard mishmash of tunes, guaranteed to get the foot stompin'. And they have a hoot of a time doing it. Band members play whatever instrument they can get their grubby paws on - acoustic guitar, bass, drums, triangle, cowbell, harmonica, banjo, spoons - you name it." Sounds like our kind of show! Please join the Haugen Team there, and wear a costume!
