Keeping the beat….
Kenya & Maketa brought some 300 drums, and got the crowd going....
It was awesome.
Jane decorates the place...wow!
Last night at the elementary school, two great things happened: the Friday Harbor High cooking class put on a dinner that couldn’t be beat, followed by a community drumming session that could be heard on the other side of the Fairgrounds & was a cool way to bring people together. The photos for this story were taken by & sent in by Debbi Fincher, who also mentioned that special kudos should go to Jane Buck, who was able to arrange the use of African fabric tablecloths from a family on Lopez, and then did her magic with native flowers and vines in bottles she collected at the thrift store!
Rather than just taking pictures for you the way I usually do, I made a little two-minute vid that captures the evening better, since you can hear it. This will give you a taste:
Unloading the drums before the show...Kenya & Maketa brought 300 drums for the evening.
Luke helping put the drums around....
Liz takes a photo of her chefs before the crowd arrives.
A crowd came...and the food was awesome!
Very cool!! I too was unable to attend but so happy to see this video.
Great job everyone!!

Thank you to all of the people who made this night possible. We had a wonderful time!
EXCELLENT!! Thanks for the video! As much as I wanted to, I wasn’t able to attend the drumming last night. I did go last year and it was fantastic! Sure do hope it happens again next year. Thanks again……
