We had a strenuous, but beautiful ride to Blossom on Saturday, July 31. We gathered at Steelyard Commons & left around 10 am, after Mark Dumm spent a few minutes adeptly convincing the security guy that indeed we were not planning on partying in their parking lot all day! Mark was our fearless leader & organized the route, the food & the support vehicles, driven by Leslie Dumm & Emma Shook. Stopped several times to eat & drink, arriving at Blossom around 2:45 for the 3:30 rehearsal. It was a fun group, about 20 in all, including musicians, staff, family & even neighbors.
