We were invited to a concert at the Veterans Memorial Park in Manchester, sponsored by the Friends and Families of Fallen soldiers - Block Party 7/11/2010
Jarrod thought it would be pretty good, so we thought we'd go for an hour or so because it was so hot out and ended up staying for the entire show. Jarrod managed getting the band talent together, managing the entertainment setup, tear down, and sound. Busy day for him back and froth from the stage to the sound booth several times for each band.
We called Crystal and the twins to come down and watch the show with us, she was just leaving to go to the Block Party. James and Jason had fun too.
What a great time, there were raffles for both goods and services as well as 50-50 raffles, (I Won $50.00, I donated it to the Goldstar Mothers Memorial fund.) There were clowns, hotdog vendors, and others selling various foods, there were 6 bands, Best Not Broken a local Manchester favorite, Brooks Young Band, Jimmy Lehoux Band was fantastic as well, Mindset X rocked it out, Ron Noyes Band, and the Scott Barnett Band. The music was fantastic, young and old enjoyed the day! The police presence was fantastic, there were officers on foot and on Segways taking the time to mix with all of the people on the field, handing out honorary Junior Police Officer stickers to the kids.
Well done All!
I only wish we thought to bring chairs and a blanket for all to sit on, next time...
