Five days of fun in the sand…

Day three of DuneFest 2011 will wrap up this evening in Winchester Bay with “Rock the Dunes”… music on the main stage and dancing in the sand. But, it’s all the other activities, says Joe Mirvis, that have drawn about 8-thousand off-road enthusiasts.

Mirvis – “Got the moto-cross and drag racing are in full speed. And, uh, we’re having a show and shine, treasure hunt, poker run and freestyle shows throughout the day and Saturday. A great selection of vendors, vendor row is free to the public.”

Mirvis, along with a host of volunteers with the Reedsport Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce have built a small city on the sand beneath the Umpqua Lighthouse. The festival runs through Sunday, but most events will wrap up tomorrow with sand drag racing and the annual “king of the dunes” race.
