After playing at our home church in the morning, our next engagement was at Antique Acres.
In our spare time, we enjoyed looking around at all the working old machinery on display such as this one where they were making boards. I can totally understand how so many people were injured in the old days! This thing is dangerous! If you aren't careful, your hand could be sliced off.
Quiz Question: Know what this thing is?
Answer: It's either an old thresher, or a combine, or a different old piece of machinery... anybody know for sure?
Horns can be annoying things I'm sure! It looks like the weight of those horns would make his head off balance.
To boost our energy in between concerts, Daddy got us some ice cream. Go Daddy! It certainly helped.
Our next stop was in Readlyn, Iowa to give the concert at their special Farewell to Summer event in the park.
Both the band shell and park were very nice. As you'll see later, the one downside was the heat and the sun.
Making the jump.
Rosining bows before the concert.
That sun was powerful and it was shining straight into our eyes, reflecting off the walls, and generally making it an oven on stage. Thankfully, our audience could sit in the shade and enjoy refreshments while we played.
In fact, it was soooo hot that my chin rest cushion melted and turned into a gooey mess.
Over half of us ended up wearing shades to cut down the glare.
It was a good day. In fact, some heat would feel pretty good now, wouldn't it?
"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
P.S. Some of you may wonder what we do behind the scenes on our concert trips. Here's one example of the things we figure out to entertain ourselves with. Believe me, we have a hilarious time!
