This blog has been set up as a central location for folks involved in organizing the upcoming Olympia Flood Aid benefit concerts, February 16th and 17th at the Olympia Eagles Ballroom. If you want to be involved, please post and let us know how you can help. (we already have as many bands as we can fit)

If you have personal contact information you'd prefer not to post here, please email to floodfarmrelief@gmail.com.

We are also on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/farmfloodrelief

Recent flooding severely impacted many of our local farmers. Some have been devastated by the swollen and raging flood waters and have lost not only crops and products they produce, but also equipment, homes, barns, production facilities and much more.

Olympia Farm Flood Relief is a loose collective of musicians and friends organizing a benefit concert to help provide relief for impacted farms. We've set up this page as a sort of catch-all page for the benefit - blog, message board, musician meet-up, publicity, and so forth.

Our intent is to donate all money received to the Olympia Food Co-op's Flood Relief Fund. The Flood Relief Fund donates all money received directly to farmers, with no overhead. You can also donate now by visiting the Co-op.
