It was bit chilly so our musicians came inside to play and the store was packed!
The crowd wouldn’t let them stop so they played Bluegrass until 8 pm. We had a new local musician (Alan Jeffries) run home and get his guitar and jam with our regulars: Jim Todd, Geoff Keymer and Alexa Jaffer. It was a blast.
Here are a few photos:

We had great fun at last night’s July First Friday in Annapolis Royal.
There was music and dancing on the streets and lots of people strolling the boardwalk enjoying the warm, sunny evening.
We were lucky enough to be visited by the famous Town Crier and his escort and a very distinguished Victorian lady in her beautiful outfit.
So fitting for Canada’s First Town!
