Hot, sunny days are returning just in time for a fun weekend. It’s the BIG Russian River Chamber of Commerce fundraiser with the June Tunes, a raffle for a beautiful kayak, and a Cake Walk for scrumptious cakes, not one but many! This is “Musical Cakes” (like Chairs). Fun to watch and win!
Later on, the good ol’ FOG band will take to the stage to play their best blues, classic rock, and R&B tunes for you to dance, dine and listen to.
The pool is gorgeous–swimming and frolicking every day and Water Aerobics during the week.
The Snack Bar, of course, is open during swimming pool hours, as is the Video Games room. The horseshoe pits beckon. And cards for the devoted regulars out back!
The FOG, Saturday the 15th, 6-10 p.m.
Dance to Classic Rock, the Blues, R&B, lots of oldies that you know and love. The FOG will even take requests ’cause they know just about every song you can think of. Try ’em!
Come celebrate the beginning of summer and the end of school with us. The Rio Nido Roadhouse pool and snackbar are open starting this weekend. Listen to the FOG play Saturday night from 6-10 p.m. Attend the Rio Nido Homeowners’ Association BBQ on Sunday and don’t miss Pegasus Theater’s production, Kimberly Akimbo, a dark comedy written opens May 24 and runs through June 16 at the Rio Nido Lodge.
Find the entire late spring through Labor Day band schedule on the Rio Nido Roadhouse website under Events. It’s a terrific lineup which includes Levi Lloyd, the Tom Finn Band, the THUGZ celebrating Bob Dylan, D’Giin, Petty Theft, The Pulsators, Gator Beat, The Fargo Brothers, the SoulShine Blues Band, The Sun Kings (Beatles), Garageland Rodeo, and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones, plus a few more slots to be filled. It’s going to be a super summer out there under the stars and among the redwoods. Listen to great bands, dine, and dance to your heart’s content!
Pool information will be coming soon.
Pegasus Theater is grateful for all of you who have bought tickets, donated money, attended fundraisers and helped mount plays for the last 15 years. For some time now revenue has not been able to keep up with modest production and overhead costs, even though performances have been successful and well received. The bottom line is that there is an immediate shortfall in funds. They need to raise $5,000 in the weeks to come or they’ll be forced to close their doors. Please contribute now if you want Pegasus to continue.
Board members and the Artistic Director will match the first $1,200 of donations received toward their goal of $5,000.

Rob Giordano, and Sonoma County Director of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Mike Kennedy.
