Quarter Mile Combo- played at Hopmonk Tavern. This 4 piece Americana Rockabilly band features the West End’s own Justin Barr on guitar, vocalist Nettie Hammar, drummer Gary Daly and Todd Troublemaker on bass. A great show.

Santa Rosa ADULT Gong Show– This is a live version of the old T. V. show- but with an adult rating. The show, produced by Kelly Cowan & Jacquie Smith, was hilarious and everyone looks forward the next one. Watch S. R. ADULT Gong Show- Click Here!

Save our Pools– Almost 6oo people ran/walked through the West End Neighborhood on Sunday for the “Save our Pools” 5 K. West Enders watched them from their front porches and cheered them on with cowbells and waves. Racers got to see the DeTurk Round Barn, our two lovely parks and historic homes- many for the first time. West Ender Veronica Jordan and her friend, Ann Figurski made a big splash dressed in swimming attire and sporting “Save our Pools” across their baby bumps. See Press Democrat News story
