About the Event
Two hours of notification-free bliss, out on the grass.
The Log Off is a pop-up gathering for people who could use a breather. You check your phone at the door, find a spot on the lawn, and spend the next couple of hours doing something with your hands — a puzzle, a board game, a coloring book — with good music, wine tasting, and no agenda.
“The goal isn’t to be anti-technology. It’s just to remember what it felt like before your brain had twelve tabs open at once.”
We’re not here to lecture anyone about screen time. We’re pulling this together because, as two millenials, we know the itch to check something and the low-grade hum of being always reachable.
This time we’re taking it outside to The Allison’s Meadow Garden for a summer evening on the grass — Local DJ Spinning Web Records spinning vinyl, blankets and low chairs welcome, and light bites and wine tasting available on site. Come as you are, stay as long as you want, and leave feeling a little more like yourself.
Admission is $10 and it’s open to all ages. Light bites and drinks will be available for purchase on site.
What You’ll Find
Plenty to do.
Coloring Books
Newsberg-designed coloring books featuring scenes from your local town. Colored pencils and markers provided.
Card Games
A curated selection of fast and easy-to-learn games that work with friends, or strangers if you’re so bold.
The Lawn
Bring a blanket or low chair and claim a patch of grass. Sprawl out, stretch out, and take your time.
Light Bites & Wine Tasting
Available for purchase on site, so you can graze and sip while you play. Nonalcoholic options also available.
The Music
Spinning Web Records — Live Vinyl DJ Set
All of the snaps, crackles, and pops
This is music that’s perfection in imperfection
Local vinyl DJ Andrew Kaye is curating the groove for this installment of The Logoff at The Allison’s Meadow Garden. Known for bringing crates of classics and modern records alike, Andrew has a natural talent of matching the vinyl to the vibes.
How It Works
The Dream of the 90s is alive in Newberg
Reserve your spot
Grab a ticket on Eventbrite before you come — it’s $10 per person, and it’s open to all ages. Walk-ins welcome if space allows.
Show up at The Allison’s Meadow Garden
Find us at 2525 Allison Lane in Newberg. Bring a blanket or a low chair for the lawn. Rain or shine — dress for the weather.
Check your phone
You’ll hand it off at the door — it’ll be waiting for you on the way out. If you need it for medical reasons, accessibility, or anything else, that’s completely fine. And if you need someone to reach you while you’re there, you’re always welcome to give them The Allison’s front desk at (503) 554-2525. Believe it or not, it’s how we were reachable when we went out (or our parents went out).
Find something to do
Grab a puzzle, pick up a coloring book, sit down at a game, or just spread out a blanket and listen to Andrew Kaye spin vinyl. There’s no wrong way to do this. Light bites and wine tasting are available for purchase on site.
Leave whenever
Stay for twenty minutes or the full two hours. Pick up your phone on the way out and carry on with your evening.
“If you need your phone for a medical device, accessibility reason, or anything else — just let us know. No questions asked. You can also have someone call The Allison’s front desk at (503) 554-2525 to get a message to you on the lawn.”

The Team Behind It
Made in Newberg, by people who live here.
Newsberg is a hyperlocal, independent, reader-supported news publication covering Newberg and Dundee, Oregon featuring local news reporting and a central events calendar.
Paige works with event professionals and neurodivergent business owners who are stuck between a great idea and a workable plan. She finds the thread, untangles it, and hands it back — along with a clear path forward that was there all along.
