STURGIS – The Hemp Throw Down, a sister festival to the Hemp Hoe Down, will be held at the Elk View Campground on Friday Sept. 19 and Saturday, Sept. 20. The Elk View Campground is located off of Interstate 90 Exit 37, five miles south of Sturgis. The festival will feature hemp food by Organibis Kitchen, hemp milk from Living Harvest, and Dempsey's Brewery in Watertown, is supplying the hemp beer. There will also be hemp gear from the Hempire and Natural Selections will be bringing the hemp T-shirts.
Friday's music lineup starts with Seeds and Stems of Casper, Wyo., which has a great hip-hop and reggae blend; Sequoia and the Modern Day Warrior from Rapid City, features the sounds of "Lakota Rap" and blues and rock; Half Grass from Spearfish is made up of two guys who love bluegrass and their music reflects that. Other performances include DJ Manatea, of Casper, Wyo., M.C. Alphamatic, also of Casper, Wyo., and Belle Fourche's progressive acid punk band Better Than Prozac will also perform.
Better than Prozac band members include Logan Miller on guitar, keys and vocals; Forest "moon unit" Thompson on bass and Spencer Schreier on the drums. Better than Prozac will play at 5 p.m. They released a CD this February, which can be purchased at this year's Hemp Throw Down or at Black Hills Guitar, a local music store in Spearfish.
Saturday will feature Solspectre of Minneapolis, Minn. They have a "funky jam band sound" and includes Rapid City native Aaron Burkee. Von Veeder Veld of Rapid City will also perform with sounds of psychedelic experimental rock, Tommy the Silent of Spearfish will play as well, however, the time of the performance was not available as of press time. Other musical guests at this year's Hemp Throw Down include Rapid City's Dog War,
Ticket price's at the gate is $10 for Friday and $15 for Saturday. All entrance fees include free camping. Kids 12 and under are free. Friendly dogs are allowed on a leash. No drugs or outside alcohol is allowed. The Hemp Throw Down and Lakota Hemp Days are produced by Keefe Green Productions.
Lakota Hemp Days will follow the Hemp Throw Down on Monday Sept. 22 through Friday Sept. 26. Lakota Hemp Days will feature tipi camping, organic meals from Organinis Kitchen, horse rides, wild buffalo and laid back camaraderie. Wind and solar energy systems will also be on display by High Plains Wind and Solar Energy.
At the Hempcrete Community Center, attendees will be allowed to use the hemp break to test the strength of wild hemp plants. You will also be able to see how homemade hemp paper is made with the Hollander beater.
The community center was the first structure in North America to feature American Limetec's patented Hemcrete walls, which are fireproof, waterproof, earthquake resistant, rodent resistant and have tremendous thermo mass characteristics that allow the walls to breath. This process keeps homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer saving the homeowner around 50 percent off their energy costs. The hempcrete community center is just the beginning of a sustainable living center that will be built near Kiza Park, setting the green/eco example on Pine Ridge Reservation.
