On Friday night, The Gibson Brothers won our hearts again and bluegrass lovers were treated to another magical evening with The Gibson Brothers. The snow and the cold did not deter a large crowd from enjoying a truly great evening of music.

Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this event a success.  Special thanks go out to Linda Perfecto & Diane Schoonmaker for the refreshment table, Marc & Brianna Berman & Kate Mitchell, who were at the ticket tables, frozen Jerry Oland for working out in the (brrrr) cold to help people find their way into the church, Carol Beaugard for emceeing, Mike Foley for publicity, and Mark Hudson and Pat Dinges for the merchandise table.  

First person in and last person out of the church was Peter Conklin.  He set up the sound, did the sound check, monitored it, and made the evening possible for us.  Thank you, Peter!!!!
