Woodstock Again in 2010



Nearly, 500 braved the heat with Blankets spread, Picnic Baskets open and Freak Flags flying!
Little Diamonds took the stage at 6:15 PM.
The Candlestyx rocked the crowd with Revolution at 6.45 PM
Lightning closed the show early!
The Show was received with enthusiasm! With nearly 500 in attendance the music was engaging and we heard a lot of positives from the fans in the audience. As a result we have a number of new fans signed up on the mailing list. The Lightning storm closed the show early and we missed presenting Piece of My Heart! Oh Drat! But the good news is the full show will be on display on October 23rd at The Suburban World Theater in Uptown! Sign up for our newsletters now to get more information and reminders!
I love and Bless You All!
Rev. Bill Butch r Baker
