BALLOON BLAST KID’S RACE COCC • Friday, July 22
Head down early for one of Central Oregon’s favorites: a kids-only obstacle race course. The Balloon Blast combines obstacles with a colorful course, perfect for kids ages 3-10. The exciting obstacles are appropriate for all types of children with a wide range of skill levels to tackle. We encourage parents and guardians to come and cheer their little athletes on as they enjoy being part of a supportive, healthy and motivational community event!
MUSIC Milo Matthews: 5:30-6:30pm
Milo Matthews demonstrates versatility unlike any other bassist. By using a drum pad, effects pedal, and a looping machine, Milo provides his own rhythm, bass line, keys and lead guitar turning him into an unstoppable one man show. Milo’s styles range from Jazz to blues, rock, pop, funk and even folk. Milo performs his own originals as well as adding his unique flavor to 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s to the Present cover songs. It’s very rare to see Milo play the same song the same way, which makes every performance fresh and new!!!
Soul’d Out: 7-8:30pm
Soul, R&B & funk are the influences of Soul’d Out. With over 30 years of professional playing & touring experience each: Dennis Morris (guitar,vocals), Steve Hartwell (keyboards, vocals), Rutledge Waterhouse (bass, vocals) & Bruce Klouda (drums, vocals).
