Terlingua Music Bash
Make your plans now for an epic weekend with old and new friends in the Terlingua Ghost Town. We'll have 5 nights of music at The Starlight, a classic parade, silent auction, costume contest with a $100 top prize, open mic at The Boathouse, gospel brunch at DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ, and song circles into the night. “Steampunk” was so tremendously popular it's the costume theme again. So, make plans to dress up and get down to Ghostown, October 17th thru 21st.
There's no charge for the event but any donations are appreciated as all proceeds benefit the Mark (eYeBall) Kneeskern Memorial Scholarship for the Terlingua CSD students. Please join us and encourage your adventurous friends!
We are currently seeking items from the community for our silent auction that will be held Saturday, October 19th at the Starlight Theatre. Please, let us know if you have an item or a service you are willing to donate to help the cause.
