RED, WHITE, and BLUES Concert Sat. Nov. 8 Honors Veterans
The Community Race Relations Coalition (CRRC) will honor veterans with a RED, WHITE & BLUES Concert and Silent Auction Fundraiser on Nov. 8 from 7 - 10 pm at the City of Waco Multi-purpose Center on the Paul Quinn Campus, 1020 Elm St. Tickets are $20 each or $150 for a table of 8.
Entertainment will feature local musicians Classie Ballou and Family Band including 9 year old Cam’Ron on the drums. Last July, the Ballou family performed at the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland Oregon. One review I read said, “I enjoyed this set of swamp blues, but what won over the hearts of the crowd was the drummer, Classie’s 9 year old grandson Cam-ron. He’s 9, looks 7 and plays like he’s 35”. The family band plays a wide variety of music, but specializes in blues and zydeco. Easy Marshall will also play piano. Local favorites Max and Tamme of KBGO Radio will keep things rolling.
Guests are asked to bring items for Iraq soldiers such as beef jerky, coffee, instant drink mix, sunflower seeds, tuna in foil packets, protein bars, baby wipes, batteries, DVD movies, CD’s, T-shirts, socks, flea collars, dog biscuits, and dog shampoo (for K-9 Units). Don’t bring any glass or can items.
Also, don’t forget the Veteran’s Day Parade on Tue. Nov. 11 at 11am starting at 12th and Austin.
