Culture & Giving Thanks!

Friday we had the extreme pleasure of taking Kid1 and Kid2 to a concert sponsored by the Bethel Council on the Arts. Recording artist Erin McKeown ended her recent tour with at stop at Bethel's Cultural Center and delighted the crowd with an energetic, yet very intimate show!



Kid1 received some education advice from McKeown (Who has an Ethnomusicology degree from Brown University) as well as a little music advice from Traci Buckle. Nice!

Kid1 has also booked a spot in the lineup for the BCA's annual "Break-Up Concert" held at the river when the ice finally decides to leave! Date and Time TBA, since nobody really knows when that's going to happen! My guess is we'll be pushing back the date as we woke up this morning to a few inches of snow...but we'll keep you posted and hopefully get a little video of her performing!

Speaking of Break Up...every year, there's a 50/50 contest to guess the date and time of the break up. We didn't get any tickets this year, although my guess of Cinco de Mayo isn't looking very good right now! My next guess is May 18th at 8:32am. We'll see! Here's a calendar of the historic dates of the Break Up!



Oh...here's a video from the 2009 Break-Up!

Saturday, we had our first annual "Fakesgiving" celebration with some friends that are preparing to leave for the summer! It was a delight and we are certainly going to miss those dear friends while they are away!

We had yet another wonderfully full weekend in our new home and we are surprised daily with all of the opportunity here! Thanks BCA, Erin, Traci, friends, family and everyone else that made this weekend possible!
