The Southern Oregon community is invited to join Britt this weekend to explore the recently purchased US Hotel in Jacksonville before it undergoes a significant transformation into Britt's new home.

During the event on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., learn about the history of the building, plans for the future and support the renovation efforts with a raffle including coveted Britt experiences and packages from Jacksonville's merchants, wineries and restaurants.

Auction items include a four-person wine tour with EMC Black Car Service, ten lawn seats at Britt, a guitar signed by Craig Chaquico of Jefferson Starship, hundreds of dollars in gift cards to various local businesses and so much more.

The event is admission-free and no RSVP is needed. Dine and shop about town before and after your visit. Participating partners will donate a percentage of daily sales back to Britt.

Britt is committed to being embedded in the community of Jacksonville and will be renovating the historic building to accommodate small-scale performances during the winter months as well as workshops and community events. Britt's box office and administrative offices will finally be accessible right downtown and there will always be a small merchandise and record store for those browsing the shops.

The US Hotel building has sat in the heart of downtown Jacksonville for almost 150 years and Britt is proud to give this landmark new life and purpose. For more information, visit "brittfest.org."
