It was another summer of fun Thursday nights in downtown Chelsea.
June 9
Thunderwüde was on the library lawn.
Who’s a good dog? WHO’S A GOOD DOG?!
(Yes, he is a good dog.)
Okay, back to Thunderwüde.
Sometimes things break at inconvenient times. Things like strings.
It wasn’t long before everything was back in working order.
The Bluesmatics were on South Street.
Dave Boutette was at the Alehouse.
He had company.
The Dorkestra was at the gazebo.
Annie & Rod Capps were on the library lawn.
Hullabaloo was on South Street. Hullabaloo was LOADS of fun!
The bass player was out dancing in the street and interacting with kids the whole time I was there.
The July 16 Sounds & Sights featured something a little bit different: the Monitors and the Merries, our wonderful local vintage base ball clubs, were by the clocktower with batting practice for the kids.
They also had games and other amusements.
Thursday night fun in Chelsea continued on another beautiful evening.
Shari Kane & David Steele were on the library lawn.
The Dorkestra was on South Street.
The Dorkestra has FUN.
After a couple weeks of threatening clouds, Sounds & Sights welcomed the return of beautiful Thursday night weather.
Bill Bynum & Co. were on the library lawn.
Captain Ivory, always a S&S crowd favorite, was on South Street.
For yet another week, Sounds & Sights faced an uncertain weather forecast. This compelled the library to move its comedy show inside again.
The change of venue didn’t stop the laughter.
Meanwhile, the rest of Sounds & Sights was outside. There was a very light rain early in the festivities, but it didn’t seem to bother anyone.
In the above photo, notice that it’s raining while the sun is out. Do you know what that brings?
The rainbow is leading directly to Smokehouse 52. Does that mean the pot at the end of the rainbow is filled with brisket?
The light rain stopped entirely not long after Sounds & Sights started, and the rest of the evening was dry and beautiful.
The North Creed Fiddlers were on South Street.
For the second consecutive week, the Thursday evening forecast was a bit less than ideal. However, that didn’t stop people from coming to downtown Chelsea to enjoy an evening in town!
The possibility of rain compelled the library to move its comedy show inside.
The rest of Sounds & Sights remained outside. Cash is King, a Johnny Cash tribute band, played on South Street.
As always, the kids were enjoying the music.
