People came to the Vista Dining Center Wednesday night for live country music and poker at the Hoedown Throwdown.
The event was sponsored by the Student Activities Board and put together by Kate Crabbe, receptions coordinator.
“We have never done a country night, and we saw a country band at the (National Association of Campus Activities) and got the idea for one,” said Crabbe.
The live music was provided by local country band Pristine Blue. They played country songs throughout the evening, with some people dancing throughout their set.
“They actually practice just a block away from Mt Hood,” said Crabbe.
Crabbe also asked Club 257 from the Professional Photography Program to do portraits at the event. Matthew Houck, club president, said they were asked by Crabbe to do western-themed portraits for the event.
“This type of portrait is not typical of what we do. We usually provide professional portraits, but we were asked to provide something a little more entertaining for this event,” said Houck.
The SAB paid for the first 50 photographs of the night; after that, portraits were $6 for a five-by-seven photograph.
Forty to 50 people had shown up by 6:45 p.m. and more showed up as the night went on.
Crabbe said she started coordinating the event in November.
