After a rain out on the 10th the July concerts were HOT! The Transistors brought their cool “Sounds of the Sixties,” The Hollis Town Band came all out with their big band (on Vehicle Night!) and then Brian Templeton put on THE BEST Blues performance we’ve ever seen in Dunstable!
More good news: We’ll be making up the rained out Kim Poesse Band concert – on August 17th at the Grange Fair.

Those that were there bore witness to the two helium balloons that were tossed up and down and side to side making their point of just how windy it was up there a few feet above the ground. We will try to reschedule this very special event with the good people at RE/MAX. Laura in Dunstablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16402148920775372461noreply@blogger.com0
