Troon Vineyard set to host Wildlife Images benefit concert featuring 80s rock band, Quarterflash, June 18th at 5:30 pm. Expected to be attended by hundreds of guests, the event will host local restaurants, Casa Amiga’s, Hannah’s, and Rosie’s Inferno Wood Fired Pizza, to provide fantastic food options for purchase as well as a decadent dessert auction.
“When Troon approached us to host our fundraiser we felt that our shared values of community, wildlife and education, was a perfect partnership. And what a unique experience this will be! How many people get to enjoy a concert in such a amazing setting?” Steve Hardie, President of the Wildlife Images Board explains of the partnership.
Quarterflash, Oregon natives, hit it big in 1980 with their single, “Harden my Heart.” The husband and wife duo toured with the likes of Elton John and Linda Ronstadt before returning to Oregon to form Ross Productions to create music for NW audiences. Quarterflash is excited to support such a great Oregon cause.
