07-17-21 First night of Summer Sounds
The day started with Laundry and maintaining my water softener system before heading to get a mani-pedi. I stopped at Culligan on the way and picked up an 11 and a 15 L bottle of water to use later. It was a glorious hour and a half and I love my new nails that match my volunteer t-shirt.
Picked up a few more things and headed to Rotary Park. It was so much fun and there were around 500 people which was amazing. We got about 66 new members and a bunch of donations. Those really matter for us to get grants and keep putting on free concerts in the park all summer. We do the Summer Sounds until the end of August and then on Sept 10 and 11 put on Peak Music Festival. Tonight’s performers were the Confluentials with our own Board Member, Barry Coulter followed by Baker Street Blues from Nelson. In between, Maureen and I were the information entertainment. It was a lot of fun. We bantered well off each other. I look forward to coming up with new Schtick each week and am glad she asked. I helped out around the booth and then was the water girl. I put the card I bought to good use and it seemed very popular bringing clean cold water to the crowd. I used disinfectant wipes in between people and wore my mask while doing it. Don’t want to take any chances in the last four days before my two weeks are up. I did hug a couple people though.. The music was so good and the crowd was so freaking well behaved!! Great fun was had and all is right with the world. It is amazing that in spite of no liquor license and thus no beer garden, no food trucks, but a snack lady, and the music stopped just after 9 instead of at 10… it was a juge success!!

Missy was not all that impressed with being in all evening. She did miss me and kept coming in for a swipe against my legs.
