First Third Saturday doesn't disappoint
I was so pleased with the
first Third Saturday event. I was really
not surprised considering the amount of planning that the committee provided to
insure the success.
The last count I heard for
the number of vintage cars was 116. We
thought 25 or 30 would be a good number for the first event. I congratulated Terry Locklear and Amelia
Landstreet for their efforts to personally contact owners.
Beth Harrel and Connie Fuller
did an excellent job in recruiting food vendors. I can still smell the barbeque in the
air! We have already received calls
wanting to be included for the July event.
Crowds
gathered to watch the Black Belt Academy demonstrations. I could not believe the abilities of the
students.
The
Silver Liners and Lake Liners were a hit. I even enjoyed a little line dancing with my son.
Glen
Williams with Foggy Hollow Band has been a lifelong friend of our family. He and the others are so talented. It was great to have a Fort Payne native, David
Ashley to play for the home crowd.
Chris
Hale is one of the most talented young men that I know. His music, art, and woodwork is truly to be
admired.
I
want to the thank Mayor Jordan and the City Council for their trust in the
Chamber to create a family fun event for our area.
Chief
Randy Bynum, Ronnie Warren, Stanley Byrd, and the city employees are the unsung
heroes for the event. Extend a big thank
you to each.
Plans
are being finalized for July 21st event. We will enjoy a "country” theme for this
Third Saturday. Activities will be the
main focus for this event.
