Summer heats up with Country Fever burlesque extravaganza in Newport

Giddy up and git on over to Primaltones Community Venue in Newport for Americana Mayhem's end-of-summer burlesque show this Saturday, Aug. 31.

Round up your in-laws, out-laws and kiss'n cousins for Country Fever, bringing your favorite country songs to life as you enjoy watching the girls next door dancing, prancing, shake'n it down and take'n it off.

The show includes two fabulous sets of boot-scoot'n burlesque, and even a chance for the audience to participate and win valuable prizes in the corn-shuck'n contest.

Your favorite Newport burlesque starlettes, The Sirens of Sparkle, will perform: Dixie DeLish, Breezy Betty, Babino, Lolli Pop and Luna the Night Flower, joined by new, never-before-seen talent from Portland, Eugene and more.

The Cannabis Cowboy will ride in from the hills to emcee.

Remember to bring cash to tip performers and, as always, dress to impress — cowboy boots and Daisy Dukes.

Also, you'll have an opportunity to buy raffle tickets for prizes. Proceeds to benefit the opening of Passion Flower Fitness & Dance in Newport, a health and fitness facility for women and active agers with the goal of keeping our community strong and fit.

Primaltones Community Venue has an outdoor social area with a gas fire pit. The bar will be open with a variety of local microbrews, cider, wine, prosecco and hard seltzer options, kombucha on tap and other non-alcoholic beverages available. The small food menu offers pizza, ice cream sandwiches and popcorn.

The show, for those aged 21 and older, begins at 9 pm.

Advance tickets are $35 for general admission, first-come-first-served, mixed seated and standing room only, and $45 for VIP, reserved seats with optimal viewing of the stage. Some VIP seating includes tables. Primaltones Community Venue is located at 2925 SE Ferry Slip Road in Newport. For more information, go to passionflowerfitness.com.
