Keeler Creek Days

By Buxton Manning

After three years, the Keeler Creek Days festival is back (though it's just one day and there's no antique car show this year). A group of geezers wants to win the tug-of-war, just like they did fifty years ago. Fat chance? Two women, rivals in both the kitchen and the bedroom, want to wear the bake-off crown. And the new event-The Battle of the Bands-has something for everyone: legendary rock, stoned-out jazz, and angst punk.

But there's more happening: Stu and Melinda want to run away and leave their respective spouses. Lucy needs to decide between two suitors. Norman wants to depose his mother in a retirement home. The Misunderstoods just want to get a gig somewhere. There's adolescent love, old rivals, alcohol and gambling, a recluse ex-pro linebacker, dysfunctional porta-potties, and Cory is stuck working at the Acorn Market while everyone else is at the park. Add two out-of-town hoodlums intent on robbing every home while the town is empty, and Balzar, a belligerent Roosevelt elk...it's a helluva party.

Come spend the weekend in Keeler Creek, Oregon. BYOB. You'll need it.
