The good folks of Belle Fourche have done it again!The Center of the Nation Concert Association brought in another top-flight entertainment act when they booked Riders in the Sky. Scheduling an extra matinee performance allowed for adequate seating at both shows, ensuring that everyone got to see these great entertainers.
The Belle Fourche Area Community Center is a great facility for these shows.
Of course, we know things like this don’t “just happen.” It’s the product of good planning and lots of hard work. Near the top of that list has to be Barry Pitt, President of the Board of Directors. As witnessed this week, Barry wears lots of other hats besides that little black one he’s seldom without. Lighting guy. Sound guy. Emcee. And more.
I suspect there’s a very long list of hard workers who make this series happen. People like Lorraine Klingler, Mary Wendt, B.B. Arbuckle, Michelle Deyo-Amende, Bill Kunerth, Vi Shaw, Norma Peterson, Margaret Logan, Connie Husband, Marry Ellen Warren, Marilyn baker, Betty Helmer, Joan Jewett, Audrey Wiley, and others. Thanks to each of you.
There are lots of sponsors and contributors, too. They’re all to be congratulated.
And just when we thought there might be a long break – news that the Wood’s Tea Company is on the docket for Tuesday, April 8th at 7:30 p.m. We understand this acoustic group from Vermont has met tragedy over the past 24 months. One of their members died as the result of a motorcycle accident; then last year, the group’s founder died of a heart attack.
Nonetheless, the surviving members have brought on board some other great talent, and they’ve resumed their nationwide tour with great bluegrass, sea shanties, American folk music and even some Celtic tunes.
And for their show in Belle Fourche on April 8th, they’ll be joined by lovely Patti Casey, a vocalist and songwriter who’s appeared in folk and music festivals across the country and has also appeared on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion.
Kudos to Belle Fourche for continuing to provide area residents with some great entertainment. We understand they’re putting the finishing touches on a great schedule for next year – including the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.
And don’t miss the Wood’s Tea Company on April 8th!
