The Marauder's Captured on Camera

Medicine Park Marauder's website has a new feature, Captured on Camera, a place where visitors and townfolk alike can post the pictures of them, their friends and family along side the Marauders. Upload is as easy as clicking a button. Be sure to add the date and names if you wished them published. As Little Britches of the Marauders I get to meet Medicine Park guests from all over; Germany, Guatamala, Mexico, England, Hawaii, Korea, Japan and Texas to name a few. If we are doing photo ops now we can also see the final pictures when our visitors upload them to the site.

After the Ball is Over

posted by Muriel Fahrion

Wow, wow and wow again. So much music so many happy visitors and locals digging the music and totally enjoying the Mayor's Blues Ball and all the performances. It is very IMPORTANT now that the Mayor and his team get photos that document the event and feedback to complete his report for the Arts Council Grant. It is marvelous that this event remained FREE of charge but that took Art Council Grant, terrific sponsors and dedicated volunteers but now photos and feedback are needed to complete this report. We are asking for your HELP please email your PHOTOS and FEEDBACK.

Day 2 of the Mayor's Blue's Ball

This editor (AKA Little Britches) had the opportunity between photo ops and gunfights to hear all but one of the bands today starting with Blueprint featuring Mark Somerlott singing the blues and wailing with his harmonica, young Kayla Reeves with her powerful and bring it home blues, (missed Three Legged Dog because this Marauder was catching a break before the shootout at 5:30) Rusty Trawick Band with great instrument improvisations, and ending with John Gaar & the Hopeful Souls with Malford Milligan wrapping up the this Saturday's blues in wonderful.

Speaking for Medicine Park and thousands of its guests all I can say is
THANK YOU MR. MAYOR

and we'll be back Sunday for another unbelievable line up of great Blues! See you there.
