BLUES & BBQ FESTIVAL
SATURDAY MAY 31, 2008
|
|
1st Annual
Alas, it was a beautiful day for a Blues Fest..... | |
JUST A NOTE:
I am not sure if the words "thank you" can be over-used but we are compelled to make mention of the good deeds, kindness and continued positive energy received from certain folks around us. Sometimes these gifts are of the kind that we all are capable of sharing with one another, if only in the smallest of ways- by passing on that kindness or deed to someone else. I will not mention names, for in your heart, YOU KNOW. It might be you who wanders the theatre with the look of wonder upon your face and freely expresses that wonder to us, or the one who spreads the 'theatre' word or the ones who have waited for your money for your hard work or the one who gives of their time freely to help the theatre succeed in its new skin or the one who walks by or in and leaves a smile behind. Our balancing act here at the Watseka Theatre is to see that some deeds are paid back in kind, some in dollars and some by simply doing our job. We appreciate all who have gone above and beyond from the days prior to the New Years opening, to those with whom we will be fortunate to cross paths in the future. |
