Live music by local legendary band Bud & the Dynamics, Drocton Hill Band, and the 7th Street Praise Band.
Additional entertainment includes Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland, Smokey the Bear, and a certain “Ice Princess” and “Mermaid Princess” will be wandering around. There will also be Face painting, horse rides, games for all ages and Red Hill fossils.
A free rendition of The Green Grass of Home …
When Bud & The Dynamics appear at Renovo gigs, one of their most requested songs is The Green, Green Grass of Home. The band is looking for a special fan to give them a copy of their CD with the song on it. The special fan was at the St. Joseph’s Festival a couple of weeks ago. Their most recent request for Green, Green Grass of Home was from a man requested the song for his wife, whose favorite song by the band is Green, Green Grass of Home. She was so moved by the song when the band did it at the festival that it brought tears to her eyes. The band now wants to thank that lady with a copy of their CD. The fan is welcome to contact either band leader Bud Hallberg at 570-923-1915 or Gary Eberhard at 570-660-4176. The CD can be picked up at The Record.
