Y’ALL COME!

Put on your Western duds and c’mon down to the 4th Annual Limiar West Coast Reunion--Feste São João: Limiar 2000--to be held June 16, 17 & 18, 2000, at Battleground Lake Park in southwestern Washington State.

This year’s theme is based on Feste São João (Feast of St. John, June 22), celebrated in many parts of Brazil with country-western costumes, music, and dancing. Join us for an authentic churrasco Brazilian-style barbecue! Don’t miss our rendition of Bumba Meu Boi, a traditional musical dance-drama about a Brazilian vacquero, his hungry girlfriend, and his boss’s fractious prize bull. In addition, a new Brazilian eatery, Brasilia Restaurant and Bar, has opened at 6401 SW Macadam in nearby Portland, Oregon. We hear the food is good, and we hope to all meet there for supper on Friday night, June 16, to sample the cuisine.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

A beautiful setting awaits us at Battleground Lake State Park, located 30 minutes from Portland International Airport, I-5 freeway, and the motels and restaurants of Vancouver, Washington. This perfect reunion site includes camping, showers, playground, soccer field, and hiking.
