Keeping the beat….
Posted March 9, 2010 at 2:45 am by Ian Byington
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!

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……
Thank you to all of the people who made this night possible. We had a wonderful time!
Very cool!! I too was unable to attend but so happy to see this video.
Great job everyone!!
