Emerald Pond 8.27.09

We performed out at Emerald Pond in Durham on Thursday August 27th at 11 a.m. for their Corn Festival. This was their first performance without Mark (dad), and it went well. After the performance, we had lunch in the dining room and also listened to a man speak on corn, popcorn, ect... We also taste-tested popcorn to debate which one tasted the best. It was Oriville Redenbacher: Movie Theater Butter, and Act II Butter; and Oriville Redenbacher reched the highest ratings. Our grandmother, Shirley Briggs, and our aunt, Betty Lovitte also attended.

The Layton farm

We performed at our friend, Talmage Layton's farm on Saturday for Bethesda Baptist Church's Choir party. After eating some delicious BBQ, we played a 45 minute set. We had a wonderful time, as well as everybody there. We hope to play at some more of their functions in the near future!

National Night Out

Last night we performed at the National Night Out in Wake Forest in the Super Target parking lot. National Night Out (NNO) teams law enforcement agencies with citizens, community leaders, civic groups, and local businesses to promote safe, healthy neighborhoods. NNO is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

The highlight of the evening was when a military helicopter landed and took off in the parking lot. It was our honor to perform at this event, and we hope to do it again in the near future!

Sacred Grounds Coffee House

Tonight, we performed at The Sacred Grounds Coffee House located on 2700 N. Roxboro St. in Durham (beside St. Paul United Methodist Church). The church owns the coffeehouse, and every Saturday, they have free music. They kindly ask for donations for the bands, as well as to help run their bussiness. You are guaranteed to have a great time fellowshipping with others, but most of all, in Christ!
We played a 50 min. set, took a break, mingled a bit, and then went back to playing music for another 45 minutes. We play there about every 3 months, and look forward to returning soon!
