LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCES ON THE PICKIN' PORCH

Cherish Lee

Cherish Lee
No stranger to the lime light, this country-rock artist has been raised in the entertainment business. Her mother, Charlene Tilton, played the role of Lucy Ewing on the hit TV series "Dallas" and her father, Country Music Hall of Fame artist Johnny Lee, became an overnight sensation with his hit song "Lookin' for Love" from the 80's film "Urban Cowboy." Cherish Lee, a native of California, is now happy to be home. She spent the last 8 months in Missouri with her band CHARLIE, where they built up a big following playing rock shows. Cherish is writing and recording a solo country-rock album at Flying Pig Productions in Orange County.

Everything you need to know about bringing kids to stagecoach

Take a Photo on Henny-Penny Hootenanny!



FREE TAG-A-KID SERVICE

Lost little ones are no fun! Mosey on over to the Half-Pint Hootenanny and we'll collect your info and place a wristband on the kids  If you are separated, we can help round ‘em up. Found children are herded back to the Half-Pint Hootenanny (until 6pm).   After that, we cuff ‘em (not really!) and head ‘em up to the Hoosegow (the Police Station on site).
Big crowds can be like a giant round-up to kids -- to avoid separating from them, give your kids the same advice you would if you were anywhere else: don't go off with strangers or anyone without telling you first. If they get lost, have them ask for help from a policeman, a security steward, any festival staff with a radio, or another adult with children.
