Hookahville 25 – Legend Valley – Thornville, OH
May 26 - 28 2006

Spring Hookahville 2006

It's almost time for Hookahville!!!

It's been a long break for ekoostik hookah and we're glad to see it end! Since the debut of the new/old ekoostik hookah at the weeklong Jamm in Jamaica festival, the band has set its sights on Hookahville 25. The gathering which all of you have been an integral part of has grown from a small, rural get-together for a few friends into one of the Midwest’s most talked about festivals.

Things are changing with Hookahville 25 as we leave the comfy confines of Frontier Ranch for the spacious setting of Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center) and enjoy the evolution of hookah's lineup with the return of John Mullins to the band.

With 2 nights of hookah along with friends Yonder Mountain String Band, Blues Traveler, and many others, you know you want to go, so secure your tickets now at valley.inticketing.com. Advance tickets are just $70, $80 at the gate. Hookahville begins with early bird camping (an additional $20 per person) and live music on Thursday, May 25.

On myspace? So is Hookahville! Come check out some videos and photos and be a friend at www.myspace.com/hookahvillefestival !

Spring is here so dust off your tent and get ready for Hookahville 25 at Legend Valley!

Golf Outing and Ride to Hookahville

An invitation from Eric....

Hey there folks,

With Hookahville approaching it's time to clean off those clubs and check the oil in your bike have a little pre-concert fun.

This year we are going to step it up a bit and play the golf scramble at beautiful Raccoon International golf course in Granville on Wednesday May 24th at noon. Cost for this event is $30 and that covers 18 holes, cart, two drink tickets (beer incl.), a sandwich and a snack. We do need to know how many golfers to expect, so if you want to join Mullins, Lanese and friends on the links, email Eric at ericlanese@yahoo.com before May 17th.

Also, we will be riding out to the Ville, as always, on Fri. at around 1pm. Riders meet at the High Beck Tavern at the corner of High and Beck in Columbus between 11 and 1. Everyone is welcome, even if you just want to grab some lunch with the cool kids before they saddle-up and ride out.

Hope to see ya there.
