Here comes Fruition

The Oregon-based quintet Fruition has been added to the lineup as Friday night’s headlining act, Sept. 22. Fruition has grown from a rootsy string-centric outfit to a full-fledged rock band with a powerful grasp of soul, bluegrass and rock.

Six bands will be featured on the Septemberfest lineup and include alternative rockers Big Something on Friday, Sept. 22, and reggae folk with Bonfire Dub on Saturday, Sept. 23. Remaining musical acts are being finalized and will be announced soon.

Mountain Rats is one of several well-known endurance races produced by Boulder-based Gemini Adventures. Other Gemini competitions include Fruita’s Trail Running Festival, the Rabbit Valley Half and Desert Rats Kokopelli. Course maps, registration and more information on Mountain Rats at Septemberfest may be found at http://www.geminiadventures.com.

Numerous Eagle Ranch businesses, including 7 Hermits Brewing and Dusty Boot, are planning activities surrounding Septemberfest to keep partygoers occupied. Attendees can plan on intense matches of giant cornhole and other backyard games to round out their Septemberfest experience.
