ABOUT THE WILD HOG IN THE WOODS COFFEEHOUSE
Founded on University Avenue in 1978, the Wild Hog in the Woods moved to the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center in 1992, this is the first major remodel the building has had since. Earlier this year, Wil-Mar was picked to receive a makeover by “Design for a Difference”, a philanthropic effort of Floor360, an interior design firm. During the remodel, the Wild Hog in the Woods held our Friday evening concerts at Wil-Mar’s temporary location on East Main and Brearly Streets.

“The temporary location worked for us and had good acoustics, but we look forward to moving back into the remodeled Yahara Room at Wil-Mar. The Design team did an excellent job meeting the Hog’s needs for lighting and storage so we can provide that 60’s style folk music environment that the Hog is known for”, stated Jamie Poindexter, a member of the Wild Hog’s Coordinating Committee.

The Wild Hog in the Woods (“the Hog”) operates a 60’s style coffeehouse with live folk music and other special events, workshops and dances, sometimes in cooperation with other organizations. The Hog is a membership organization, a 503(c)3 not for profit based on cooperative principles that was started by musicians in 1978. Members play an important role in the Wild Hog, volunteering their time to host the coffeehouse and other events, including promotion, booking performers, running sound, baking, newsletter, web site, and much more.
