The King came to Gabriola |
Concert on the Green raises funds for the Lions Club and is a major source of funding for organizations on the island. Not sure of the amount but $22,000 is about right. There were 10 of us enjoying a picnic - mostly vegetarian - I forgot there was some pate.
It started with a group called the twisted solicitors who were interrupted by of all things an island wide power outage. Next year BC hydro will be a sponsor and know not to schedule a service maintenance break during a concert. Fortunately it only lasted for 15 minutes. Probably the hottest and most humid day of the year so far and the haze from the BC fires added a weird light to the sky.
The Timebenders did hits from the 50's through to the 90's and got a lot of people dancing from kids to adults. A good time was had by all. The evening ended with YMCA (bottom picture).
