New concert material
Excitement stirs the spring air around the Ichetucknee
River. Ft. White
will spring into the summer tubing season with a Festival
Sunday, April 30th
from 2 PM to 8 PM at the Columbia County Sports Field
beyond the new high
school on Route 47. Community leaders are gathering musical
entertainers such
as the Celtic Rock Band Seven Nations; artists such as
our locally famous
photographer John Moran are donating pieces of their
work for auction, and
vendors such as Jim Wood's Canoe Outpost are donating
canoe trips down the
Ichetucknee. I'm donating hydrobike rides and a new SICK
T-shirt will be
available for sale.
Citizen advocate Paul Gibbs needs
help and more donations. He hopes
Ichetucknee River lovers from all over the state and
beyond will join in the
festivities to raise awareness of the cement kiln proposed
only three miles
from the blue waters. Candidates running for local,
state, and Federal seats
are invited to show up and show their support for preservation
of the river.
Advocacy groups of all types are welcome to set up booths.
Specific needs are a stage, an electrician
who will install an electrical
board, donations of money for the purchase of materials
and advertising. We
welcome other artists to set up booths and offer pieces
for auction and to
perform their music.
We hope our network of River Lovers
on the Internet will pass the word.
Print out this notice and pass it around. A flyer
will be forthcoming when
more information is available. We hope for thousands
of River Lovers to
congregate to show Governor Bush the number of voters
who object to the
cement kiln.
Please respond to Paul Gibbs, calu@atlantic.net
(904-497-2276 or
352-219-6860) or hit return on this e-mail and I will
forward your
information to Paul.
