WEBSTER — Nestled within the pines along the shores of Webster Lake sits a one-of-a-kind music venue, now more than 75 years old, Indian Ranch has hosted a handful of musical legends like Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Pat Benatar and last weekend, Brett Young.
Also hidden within the trees this past week was a brand-new apple-red Corvette, complete with customized bow, ready and waiting to surprise its new owners.
“Everyone is different,” said Samuel Slater Restaurant general manager Julie Welch, adding the car is a gift for a bride and groom set to walk down the aisle at the venue on Saturday night. “But we do the best we can to make every experience here unique and unforgettable.”
Weddings are just one of the many things happening at Indian Ranch outside of its concert calendar. The once country-centric music venue has come leaps and bounds since it first began welcoming acts to the stage in 1946.
Comedy shows, corporate functions, fundraisers, holiday-themed boat tours and class reunions are just some of the things happening off the main stage.
