We could not have asked for a more beautiful day for last week's ice cream social at Fairview Park, and we were thrilled to have the Sam Blakeslee Quartet joining us for a wonderful evening of jazz. Accompanying Sam were musicians Russell Gelman-Sheehan on guitar, Dan Pappalardo on bass, and Dustin May on drums. The live music transformed the space, and drew our biggest crowd so far this summer! While the rest of the band was setting up, we had the exciting opportunity to see the bass up close. Dan showed us how he played it, and a few lucky kids even got to pluck its strings! While the band played on, a team of young artists gathered to create a very special craft. Armed with donated materials like yarn, ribbon, and old paint swatches, the kids worked together to create a village of tiny houses. Some houses they took home, and some they left behind for our "Build a Village" board, which will later be presented to two funders of the arts-in-the=park program. We were so lucky to have so many talented artists participate in this special gift! Check out our photo album for more pictures of our artists and performers!
