Locally Grown Music
Featuring: Billy Bauer
Saturday 10:00 am - 12 Noon
Billy Bauer picked up a guitar after listening to a Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds album, and as they say, the rest is history. He says he didn't intend on being a musician; however, that changed when he bought an acoustic guitar, and following the advice of his father, turned sorrow into songwriting. Billy is one of the first musical acts to support the fresh and local music scene at EFM and we are happy to have him return again this season. Don't miss Billy and his original music
this Saturday at the Music Tent from
10 am to 12 noon on the north lawn of the Circle.

Pheasant Hill wants to thank all of their customers and fellow farmers who said, "Keep the change for Houston," or slapped down anything from $20 to $2.50 last week in their drive to help Houston firefighters who lost or had damage to their homes while fighting to help
others.
"We collected $112.50 from kind souls, and with our donated earnings, sent a check to NVFC Volunteer Firefighter Support Fund for $612.50. Thank you! Now we will pray for Florida. Our (long time ago) former home in Pompano Beach is in the evacuation zone." -George, Melanie & Don Devault
