MISSION TO ADOPT

From Sherry & Chaz:  Thank you to everyone who attended our July 17th "RedDog at the Black" event. It was a night we'll never forget.

Though attendance was relatively modest, the audience was enthusiastic and appreciative.  RedDog dazzled with a display of genuine artistry, fiddling and finger-picking their way through a set of old-time classics.  Tony Ventrella provided a friendly and funny "half-time show" in between musical acts.  The Chaz Lipp Groove Tripp warmed up the crowd with some energetic jazz.
