We welcome 2024 and a new season at The Tavern!
What a strange winter we have had up in Effie and the surrounding area. Very little snow, very tolerable temperatures and spring has arrived historically early. The whole winter has been one for the record books.
Gail and SuZanne have been booking events and making plans for a great 2024 season. We have weddings, family reunions and a celebrations of life on our calendars. We are so honored that our customers and neighbors continue to choose us for their gatherings. We have booked bands for the season and hope to have regular jam sessions on Sundays.
Jason Waldron Band is set to entertain us on two dates this summer - July 5th and August 10th. Hobo Revival will Rock the house on August 24th!! Mark your calendars!! We had our bands start earlier last year and feedback was good so we will likely start early again this year.
Our Jug Band competition will fall on Sunday September 8th. Last years turnout was the best we have ever had with more talented musicians in full costumes competing! If you have never participated and would like to do so, please contact us for sign ups. ANY AND ALL BANDS ARE ENCOURAGED!!
