Thanks to The Smoking Jackets....
...for providing the entertainment on Saturday, August 14. These guys have quickly become a crowd favorite, and you haven't seen them yet you're missing out. It doesn't matter who you are.....they will play something that will surprise you and get you dancing. They will be back for this year's HALLOWEEN PARTY on October 30, so mark your calendars now!
Thanks also to the Portland St. Patrick Class of 2000 for hosting their class reunion here that night...we hope you enjoyed it!
We would also like to congratulate Tyler and Becky (Feldpausch) Weber on their August 14th wedding...they stopped in to sign the ceiling on their way to the reception, but unfortunately none of the pictures of the couple turned out....if anyone was here and took some, email them to us and we'll put them up. Best of luck to the new couple!
Thursday Entertainment Returning
Join us Thursday, September 16 as we bring back the Thursday Night Entertainment with Bailey's Comet! Tom Brown named them "the best Thursday Night act in the county not named We Three Strings..." The boys will play from 7-10 pm. Stop on out and enjoy live music with your dinner. We won't be having entertainment every Thursday, so check the schedule and make sure you don't miss one!

Derailed
Thanks to Treynrek for providing the entertainment on Saturday, July 31. This band hails from Detroit and took third place in the Ionia Free Fair Battle of the Bands, then drove straight to Pewamo to do another 4 hours for us. This band was a lot of fun and gave us a chance to rock a little harder than we usually do, with songs ranging from Black Sabbath and Metallica to Rage Against The Machine and STP. We all enjoyed it, and thanks to all who came out.
We also were visited by the bachelorette party for a certain little Italian girl from Portland...but we didn't get any pictures. If any of you have some and would like to share, email them here and we'll put them up.
Congratulations Becky and Jordan
On their July 10th wedding! The new Mr. and Mrs. Thelen stopped in after the wedding with friends and family on their way to the reception. Best of luck to the new couple!
Congratulations Nicole and Ryan
And many thanks for including us in your week. The new Mr. and Mrs. Weber hosted their rehearsal dinner here on Thursday night, then stopped in after the wedding to sign the ceiling and enjoy a few warm-up dances (note to future couples - if you have 87 people in your wedding party, we'll DJ for you too). Thanks again to Ryan and Nicole and their families - we had a lot of fun! The crowd was so thick that we never did get a picture of the bride and groom together, but if you email us one we'll put it up!
New Personal Flatbread Pizzas
Stop in and try our new Personal Flatbread Pizzas! Choose from Alfredo (our favorite), Buffalo Chicken, Philly Cheesesteak, Coney Dog, Chicken Bacon Ranch, Chicken Florentine, or Build You Own!
Congratulations to the Oakwood Lounge Softball Team
...for winning the Portland Recreation Co-Ed A league last week. The team, captained by our own Lisa Barker, stopped in after their last game to celebrate and drop off the trophy.
Thanks to In The Red...
For ending the spring band season on a great note. These guys have an extremely entertaining show and are some of the best musicians we've had in here yet. Thanks to all who came out, including some fans all the way from Grand Rapids, and thanks again to the band!
Electrik Toyz Returns
Thanks
to Electrik Toyz for
bringing their high-energy show back to Oakwood for Courtney Russman Day.
These guys bring back all of your favorite 80s and 90s rock, and they keep it
fun. This is one of the most entertaining bands we have...stop out and see
them when they return on September 25!
Archive Picture of the Week
Just for fun, we've decided to look back and pick a favorite picture out of the archives each week to share with you again. This week's picture is from Archive #20, and was taken in February 2009. Outfits this sexy just deserve another look.
