MUSIC BASH TERLINGUA ‑‑ October 17-21, 2024 at the legendary Starlight Theatre, the Boathouse & DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ… Ghost Town/Terlingua. The Terlingua Music Bash was conceived back in the 90's when Al Barlow and Garth Angleton from New Braunfels started making an annual trek to Terlingua. They were joined by other musicians from Central Texas where they hung out and played music with the locals, resulting in decades long friendships and countless Terlingua moonlit song circles. A gathering of free thinkers, reminiscing the old, while creating the new. Participation has ebbed and flowed over the years, with Corba Jones keeping the fire burning for several years and, more recently, the Wayward Gypsies taking the reins when Corba could no longer make the trip out. Last year, Cabin 10 became involved by joining the bash with a "Funky Junk" fundraiser, raising money to help fund the Mark Kneeskern "eYeBall" Scholarship at the Terlingua School. With last year's success and the blessing from Al and Garth, this new alliance is excited to bring you the 2024 Terlingua Music Bash! Still not for profit, and there is no cover charge. Donations are most appreciated, as proceeds from donations and the Silent Auction go towards funding the scholarship.

EyEBall MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP ‑‑ fundraiser is set for Saturday Oct. 19th at The Boathouse Bar & Bungalows, it is part of The Terlingua Music Bash that is happening that weekend. CALLING on our Tribe to donate for the silent auction and raffle.
Last year no students applied for the yearly scholarship, so this year we are giving away TWO $2,000 scholarships to deserving Terlingua graduates. This year is a special one because these kiddos that were 7 and 8 years old, made art with Mark in The Community Garden regularly.
In the spring of 2014, The Community Garden held an art show at the Terlingua School Library.
Asa, Marcy McElveen Reed, Bailey Asheley Baker, Luna Jason Barrett & Shyla, Maggie's daughter, were all award winners, along with 5 other students grades pre K-12th. Shyla won the art show with her amazing Picasso style piece done in art pencil, and was featured in the the Big Bend Gazette.
Buckner, Voni Glaves , Joe and Sue, Zbynek Najser, and other amazing community members were the judges. Mimi Webb Miller and Noami donated fresh juice; June Grimm donated her lovely cinnamon rolls; India donated yummy breads. It was a true testament to our Love of Mark and our amazing community that we all live in and love, even when we are making a living someplace else.
A Decade has passed, but the ART is Eternal. Please Help if you can, and tell A Friend.
