Get ready for four full days of treasure hunting during the Community-Wide Yard Sales, happening June 25–28! This year’s event is under new ownership, and we’re excited to introduce a few small changes designed to make the experience even better for both sellers and shoppers.
For the first time, the sales will run two additional days (Four days total), giving buyers more time to explore and sellers more opportunities to connect with customers. To help maximize visibility, sellers may choose to be included in the official yard sale map and address list, which will be distributed both in print and digitally throughout the community.
To help cover the cost of printing, materials, and staff time required to coordinate this expanded event, a minimal $5 participation fee will be introduced for sellers who wish to sign up. Seller registration will open on May 1st, 2026.
Printed maps will be available for pick-up beginning June 23 at the Greater Goldendale Area Chamber of Commerce during all hours either through the office or through the Gazebo on the east end of the property, as well as at select participating businesses around town.
Chamber members will also have the opportunity to purchase advertising space in the printed map to promote their business/happenings during one of the community’s busiest shopping weekends.
Whether you’re selling, shopping, or just love the thrill of the hunt—this year’s Community-Wide Yard Sales promise more days, more stops, and more great finds than ever before!

SAVANNAH CLANCY
Savannah Clancy is a folk singer-songwriter who moves through the world like the seasons — always changing, always returning. Rooted in the wild elements and the ancient rhythms of ancestry and place, her music is an intimate conversation between the human heart and the living earth. Writing songs since the age of twelve, Savannah has long understood songwriting as a sacred alchemy — a way of transforming the raw material of life into something that connects, heals, and endures.
Her debut album Roots in the Water (March 2024) offered love songs for the earth and a prayer for the planet — music born from deep reverence for the world we inhabit. Now, with her second album arriving June 13th, 2026, Savannah turns tenderly inward. These honey-sweet songs with an Americana sound are of finding home, stepping into motherhood, and weaving community — threaded through with longing, nostalgia, grief, and the quiet wonder of love in all its forms.
a place to call home (June 2026) is produced by friend and fellow musician Ben Larsen. After the many hours of devoted time working on this project, the two of them are excited to be playing and singing together in person.
BEN LARSEN
For over a decade Larsen has been performing up and down the west coast and nationally as a solo artist. He recently returned home to the Pacific Northwest after spending a year and half in New York City, writing and producing his third studio record Clarity, out fall of 2024.

Bart Budwig (full band) / Bryan John Appleby
2026-08-20 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States

BART BUDWIGBart Budwig is a son of Idaho, a cosmic country crooner, a rousing trumpet player, and cryin’-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum & strum country rhythms, jazz guitar melodies, R&B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words into meditative mantras, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on until his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album, Another Burn On The AstroTurf (January 24, 2020, Fluff and Gravy Records) was recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ roll spirituality of king mystic Van Morrison, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nick Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals.
Like those psycho-spiritual song crafters, his power comes from vocal idiosyncrasies – intonations of love, impermanence, hope, humor. The album opens with Budwig originals “Time For Two”, “First To Go”, and “Strong Coffee”– originally presented with just solo guitar (and crackling wood stove) on the album Sabai. The songs are recorded here live, full band, in medley, with hot electric guitar, woody double bass, and drums. The band electrifies and scourges the flesh of the songs into fully formed folk rock stunners.
There is what the Romans called a “divine lustre” about Bart Budwig. His blonde hair and beard wrap around his collar,and frame his smile in a nimbus of gold. His radiance belies the loyalty he commands of an army of talent. He’d sooner tell you a joke than reveal to you he’s recorded dozens of albums and hundreds of songs in the last few years. Bart’s mastery of dramatic irony turns his work with complex emotional states of being into comforting, uplifting, relatable music.
It’s this ability to combine tragedy and comedy in his humanist hallelujahs that makes Budwig a gravitational force and industry chimera. The studio general, the clown prince, the sensitive songwriter with a rugged voice. The soul singer with a cosmic country band. The creator of a folk universe drawing musicians from everywhere to the middle of nowhere. It’s this juxtaposition that makes Another Burn On The AstroTurfanother success for Bart Budwig, and a must listen for you. – Sean Jewell
BRYAN JOHN APPLEBY
Bryan John Appleby has been writing, recording, and performing original music for almosttwo decades. Based in Seattle, his folk-centric body of work incorporates breezy mid century pop, intricate fingerpicking, lush cinematic layers, and lyrics that often evoke hisCentral Coast origins.
His latest full-length, Underwater Easy Breathing, exemplifies his distinct productionpalette. Oceanic and synth-laced, the album is a natural next step in his wandering, oftendensely layered repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow Valley (2015), a maximalistconcept album drenched in dreamy, orchestral elements and experimental sounds, andFire on the Vine (2011), a darker collection with more conventional folk structures andorganic instrumentation.
With a house show tour circuit taking him throughout the Western States, Appleby has shared the stage with artists such as Damien Jurado, Deep Sea Diver, Tomo Nakayama, YLa Bamba, Shaina Shepherd, Dean Johnson, and Sera Cahoone and many others.
