The Presidential Inaugural Committee has invited Ring of Fire to perform at three official Inaugural events in Washington D.C. in January 2005. The group will first perform at a special candlelight dinner on the eve of the Inauguration in the Grand Hall of the National Museum. The dinner will be for special guests of the President and First Lady.

On January 20, Ring of Fire is honored to represent the state of Oregon as they perform on a float in the 55th Inaugural Parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. Musical groups and parade participants have been selected from 45 US states. The parade begins at the US Capitol and ends just past the VIP viewing stands at the White House.

Later that evening, Ring of Fire will perform at the Constitution Ball in the Washington Hilton. States represented at this ball include Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Minnesota, Indiana, Georgia, Connecticut, New Mexico, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Oklahoma as well as Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands. It will also be one of the first stops by the President and First Lady of the evening.

Ring of Fire will be holding a Media Day at the Hillsboro Cultural Arts Center on Monday, January 17 from 11 am to 6 pm.
