2006 Flash! In the Pans Benefit Concert

It was a crisp summer night sprinkled with the sound of steel drums and the laughter of young and old alike. Blue Hill Harbor was the backdrop for the evening filled with unique Island music. By simply closing your eyes, the magic of the melody could carry you off to a distant paradise and surround you with beauty, limited only by the breadth of ones imagination. Gleeful children with painted faces, animal balloons, and glow sticks, skipped around blowing bubbles and drinking pop, while seniors relaxed in their lawn chairs like seasoned concert goers.
