Pinestock
A Festival of Music, Grapes and
Grain
by Dave Shultz
One
of the best kept secrets of Southern New Mexico is Ruidoso, a resort
community nestled in the Southern Rocky Mountains. Ruidoso has a lot
to offer travelers. Skiing, golf, fishing, horse racing, gambling,
dining and now, Pinestock, a "Festival of Music, Grapes and
Grain”. Pinestock may not be as large as Woodstock but I guarantee
you it will be just as much fun and a lot cleaner.
Wineries from the Southwest Wine Competition, a seven state regional wine competition, will man booths offering samples of their finest wines. Joining the wineries will be New Mexico micro breweries. A variety of other vendors will round out the festival.
There will be something for everyone.
Entertainment for this year’s Pinestock celebration is
diverse. The musical line-up offers something for everyone with groups ranging from “Country” to
“Rock” , “Blues” and “World Beat”. Pinestock will feature musical acts like Grammy Award winning
Delbert McClinton who will headline Saturday’s show. Internationally acclaimed Jack Mack & the
Heart Attack anchors Sunday’s event.
Tickets will be $25 per day or $40
for a two day pass. VIP passes include a VIP reception on June 8th, reserved parking and access to
the festival Hospitality Area are available for $125 per person. Limited numbers of tickets for each
day will be available, so advanced purchases are recommended.
Pinestock will take place June 9 and 10,
2001 at the Eagle Creek Softball Complex in Ruidoso,
New Mexico. A combination of two events, Pinestock and the Southwest Wine Competition, the new Pinestock has reformed and energized into a much larger event and venue.
