2010

In 2010, Ecopalooza was a benefit concert for a local nonprofit that does great work in our community. Minority Information Outreach focuses on renovating old computers that would otherwise end up in landfills and placing them in the schools of underserved students.

Ecopalooza was an all-day affair, wrapping up around 8:30PM. Beyond the music, attendees learned about the non-profit being supported and other fun facts. We had plenty of local food vendors and a beer garden featuring microbrews by Off the Rail, a local brewery based in Forest Grove, Oregon.

The music spans all genres and was 100% local. Rock, hip hop, pacific islands, blues, country, big brass and even a Beatles cover band were all on the slate. The weather was great, the music was good and the sense of community was powerful.
