Sunday night brought a stylish close to the 3rd Annual Art Show with a marvelous concert by Sara Groves and company. After a long, stressful drive from south-central Texas Sunday afternoon, Sara and friend Melody Olsen maintained enough energy and voice to sing and play for about two hours before a sizable crowd in the CBC auditorium. Both stayed for an hour after the concert to greet folks and sign autographs. Troy Groves accompanied his wife on percussion and Aaron Fabbrini played bass.
As Sara found out when she arrived, the 3rd Annual Art Show also concluded Sunday night and brought forth an array of art that impressed her. She played a song about truth and beauty, "Why It Matters," in honor of the show. Over 40 artists contributed 115 works to this year's show, most of whom were new to the show. There were photographs and drawings, paintings and collages, quilts, and items of wood turning, pottery, glass work, metal, stone and clay. Sara's songwriting and vocal art was like icing on a cake — the finishing touch.
Our third and final summer concert will be Sunday evening, August 29th, when popular bluegrass band Beatlegras will bring their unique blend of music and nostalgia to the Crossroads auditorium. We'll have our second homemade ice cream contest after the concert, so get your selections ready! Sign-ups start soon. Tickets for Beatlegras cost $5 apiece and will go on sale in early August.
If that concert is as special as our first two, we're in for a real treat.
