The city of Grants Pass and assorted businesses sponsor a series called Concerts in the Park (I have attached a picture of the flyer) where every Tuesday through August 21 except for a couple weeks there is a concert in the park. Today was the first one and I left early about 5:30 for a 15 minute drive and I thought I would get there early so as to get a parking spot??? which I barely did as you can see from the pictures which were taken about an hour prior to the start of the concert!!!!
I might mention at this point that I had taken a flannel shirt along as it felt just a little nipply outside..... anyway I had a nice sandwich and a Dairy Queen blizzard, chocolate chip mint in case you are interested, and even if you are not now you know... I was smart enough to bring along a small thermos of coffee also....
So I found a nice spot to enjoy the concert, unfolded my chair, started eating and enjoying the fresh out doors..... then on to the blizzard (that word should have been a clue!) for desert. By this time I have the flannel shirt on and the music ain't even started yet!!!!!!! I am taking large doses of the hot coffee to stay warm as I am starting to feel like NANOOK of the NORTH!!!!! The temperature suddenly went from somewhere north of 75 degrees to somewhere south of COLD!!!!!!! and so to warm up the crowd and that statement is not meant as a pun!!!!!! they shot souvenir T Shirts into the crowd!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole thing started promptly at 7 with introductions and then the music. The group was called Kelly Thibodeaux & Etoufee and the music was CAJUN Bayou music. It was GREAT!!!!!!!
Unfortunately the temperature kept heading south with the wind coming out of the North!!!! and so as much as I liked the music and would have liked to stay for the second set I packed up, picked up and hauled A@# to Mr. Blue and off to the Chateau To Go we went..... Hopefully next week will be warmer or I will dress for the frozen north. I could tell you all what the name of next weeks group is, but why spoil the fun!!!!!!!
