Shoutout to the music community! Let us hear from you! Lockdown Lemonade has been honored to be posting stories of survival, tips for getting through these challenging times and ALL kinds of ways to make lemonade out of the lemons we’ve been handed during the pandemic.  We are always on the lookout for more material to share with the community.
Type up your thoughts & feelings, share some laughs you’ve had, some tears you’ve shed, but most of all, let your community know how YOU’VE learned to make your very special brand of lemonade. Submissions should be 300 words and will be posted based on approval from the Lockdown Lemonade Committee, who might also do a little editing and/or tweaking to help your work to look its best. For guidelines, questions and other submission details, please contact Julie Zipperer at juliez@far-west.org  or Marlynn Block at marlynn@far-west.org

FAR-West Campfire: 4/20
4/20 stands for many things. Those cute little blackbirds stuck in a crusted shell but also clouds of psychedelic smoke. Use your imagination and come join us for our FAR-West Campfire to share songs, stories, laughs! Downbeat at 7 PM PDT on 4/20. It will definitely be a far-out time! Of course, any song will do! Just want to listen, come on over! We are at the campsite next to the big tree where the maid will be hanging out the clothes on Zoom.
Our next Campfire will be on May 4th – what theme will this one be? Lots of fun Tuesdays ahead!!
You will need your own zoom account in order to be authenticated.
Our Campfires burn on Zoom, so send an email to farwestpublicity@gmail.com to receive the Zoom Registration link.
