Big Front Porch Picking Being Planned

The Board has decided on the date for our next big daylong Front Porch Picking! Circle July 18, 2009 on your calendar. This will be a daylong event presented free for you and your family. We are still looking at venues, and will have that to share with you within the next week or so.

For those of you who were unable to attend our last big event in October 2008, this is a combination of musical education through entertainment and ended the day with a classic country music concert. The day is free for all our guests. In today's economy, finding family friendly entertainment at no cost is difficult . . . but those who attended found exactly that.

Again, make plans to be part of this wonderful event coming up on July 18th. Please e-mail us asap if you would like to be part of this day, through the educational component on traditional country music, artists, and instruments, to volunteer your time and/or talent to help with all the planning and coordinating, and/or if you would like to help with the funding. Our last event was only possibly due to a grant from the SC Arts Commission as well as matching support from Capital Bank of Honea Path, the Anderson County Council, and private donors who wanted to make this type of traditional country music educational entertainment possibly for the citizens of the Upstate.

Hope to hear from you soon! RB
