WHEN: May 14, 2pm-12am



This showcase of Nederland's world class talent features the reunion of Runaway Truck Ramp, Vince Herman and friends, Ethereal Plan, Black Dog, the Zydecoasters and many, many more. With the NEDER-HAZE PERCUSSION PROJECT, a giant drum experiment to be recorded and produced by Sweetwave Audio. So, if you have a drum "Brang it-Bang it". Family friendly (kids 12 under free), parking lot bowling, great raffle prizes, dude look alike contest, white russians and be on the look out for an impromptu percussion parade.

A STORY OF SURVIVAL

Doug Guthrie (an on and off again resident of Nederland) was paralyzed in a car accident last August. His story of survival is miraculous. He died twice on the scene of the accident and then awoke from a coma hours before he was to be taken off life support. With the abiding love and tireless efforts of friends and family, Doug made his way from a mangled car wreck in Texas to Craig hospital in Denver, one of the top spinal injury facilities in the world.

He did not have insurance, though, and desperately needs funds to continue his therapy. For more information on Doug's story go to www.thedougabides.com.
