It didn’t stop Woodstock and it won’t stop us! It’s been a wet week in Centre County and there is rain called for this Friday. But the show will go on, rain or shine! We’re adding a tent and two canopies to the venue to help with that, but bring your boots and galoshes! The majority of the parking is at the Lodge, up the hill and across the street. It’s a short walk away, but will most likely be a damp one. Time to dig out your ponchos!
Even More Raffle Items!
Alex and Ani bracelets, a Pandora bracelet and charm, a wine and cheese tote set, a Black Walnut auto detailing basket, and not one but TWO NASA baskets. There’s something for everyone in the raffle!
Lion Shrine photos
Just a reminder – Bethany K photography will be on hand Saturday, May 19th at the Lion Shrine on Penn State’s campus from 1:30-3:30 p.m.. Reserve your spot by signing up HERE. $20 (payable at the Lion Shrine) includes your sitting fee and one digital image. Additional images can be ordered through an online gallery. Proceeds will be donated back to Jon and Melanie.

Vera and Kate will be joining us for the raffle! Thank you to Janet Blosky, Chris Cogan, and Karen Hennessy for your donations.
The Venue
The Pavillion at Tussey Mountain is adjacent to a beautiful pond. There are tables beneath the pavillion and on the lawn beside it. You’ll find a play area for the little ones nearby and restrooms within walking distance. Please feel free to bring your own chairs if you plan to hunker down for the duration of the show. We also suggest umbrellas in the case of wet weather and sunblock for sunnier fun.
Schedule Update
Due to unforseen circumstances, our opening act, Ish and Vic Whiskey, is unable to perform. But that’s okay! We’ll have extra time to rock out to Velveeta when they start at 5:00 p.m.! We’ll see YOU at the Pavillion starting at 4:00 p.m.
The Raffle
It’s gonna be a humdinger so bring some extra cash! Check back to this site periodically – we’ll post pics as the baskets come together and the donations roll in. Until then, here are two teasers.
Thanks to Jennifer Shuey and Eric Milton for their donations!
T-shirts
Make sure you have your official #JSTRONG t-shirt before the concert! You can order them through Amazon. And remember: a portion of the proceeds goes to the Greens!
A Food Update
Dinner is being served! We’re happy to report that we’ll be providing sloppy joes, vegetable trays, and Middleswarth potato chips (we thank them for their donation), in addition to our dessert buffet! And if that doesn’t ring your bell, feel free to bring your own. We will also provide bottled water. As a reminder, a cash bar will be on site.
