Celebrate the Hoedown
In 2013, we came together to re-invent the music festival, inspire land stewardship and support Johnsville Historic Ski Bowl. What started as just an idea turned into a movement and community that worked together to accomplish our mission year after year. For now, this page is here to celebrate and reflect on all we accomplished. However we are always working on and open to new Hoedown re-incarnations, and look forward to sharing our next Hoedown event with you all!
We are so grateful to have shared so many magical experiences! Every attendee, volunteer and artist contributed to building and shaping a one-of-a-kind event, thank you!
Thanks to The Plumas Ski Club and it’s outstanding crew of longboard fanatics for working hard to keep the dream alive at Johnsville Ski Bowl. We’ll see you at the races!
Thanks Sierra Nevada University (formerly SNC) and its staff and faculty who embraced the idea and provided support and resources.
We hold gratitude for California State Parks and all the rangers we worked alongside to host a safe and responsible event each year.
The Hoedown has been a pure labor of love. We cherish the support we’ve received from the local community, as well as new visitors to the Lost Sierra who became stewards and advocates for the land. Thank you to all! With everyone’s help, we really proved that Ralph Waldo Emerson was correct when he said,
”There are no limits to what can be accomplished if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”
In the meantime, this community isn’t going anywhere, and we’ve got plans to let the music back in again. Please scroll down for a chance to share your favorite Hoedown moments and stay connected for future magic.
Thank You,
Drew Fisher & Azariah Reynolds
