Wicked
Smart Horn Band Rocks the Dow
Saturday
nights concert on the Dow featuring the Wicked Smart Horn
Band brought out music lovers from around the region for
the 6:00 p.m. start of the show.
Nearly
two-hundred music lovers took up residency on the Dow Field
for the evening's concert. Lawn chairs and blankets
provided the seating on a nearly perfect night for
a concert. Refreshments served under the tent, kids
playing soccer on the field, and the lyrics of familiar
songs from the seventies, spicy blues and hot jazzz
echoed out across the valley.
The
Wicked Smart Horn Band entertained as members of the band
intermingled with the audience as they played, revelers
danced on the lawn in front of the gazeebo, and small groups
of familys, friends, and neighbors enjoyed a relaxing summer's
evening.
From
the faces of the crowd, a good time was had by all. More

Restaurant
Closes Doors
The
Farmhouse Restaurant and Hayloft Lounge has closed its doors
for business. In a phone conversation with a family member
of the owners, Ron & Jen Ingerson, the lack of business and
declining sales were the reason cited for the abrupt closure.
"Our
ice cream business in Lancaster has been carrying the restaurant
here in Franconia. If things don't turn around, we may
have to decide to close the business here in Franconia",
noted Jen in an earlier conversation this June.
"The
Farmhouse Restaurant was where I sent most of my guests for
the dinner hour." notes Kevin Johnson, owner of the Gale
River Motel. "I'll be hard-pressed to find another restaurant
that provides the quality of service and the variety of menu
items as you could enjoy at the Farmhouse."
No additional
information was immediately or readily available as to the
future of the business or the building, located at 651 Main
Street in Franconia. |
