Deidra White threw a party at Bas Bleu in downtown Valdosta. The band lineup kept changing, but it included both amateurs such as Deidra, Stan White, Charles F. Simons (who is Valdosta Chief of Police when he’s not playing lead guitar), and professional musicians such as Joe Smothers of Skannyardle and Brady Carrington and Rory Hoke of The Moore Trio. The occasion was Deidra’s birthday and a benefit for Diane:

Right now, one of our own Diane, age 48, who is the “Mom” of the kitchen staff at The Bleu Cafe is fighting her own battle against this disease.
So on Deidra’s birthday, this Saturday, we’re going to celebrate health and being alive while we raise money to help Diane with expenses while she is unable to work.

Here are a few clips of the band:

That’s the whole playlist. You can pick out individual videos through this link to the playlist.

Every Saturday morning in June and July, there’s a farmers’ market in Hahira on West Main Street, near the caboose.

Here Andrew Young tells us about it, Saturday morning, July 10th:

This last Saturday,

Tom Kuettner was there, selling goat products.
Gwen Jones had squash, tomatoes, okra, watermelons (red and yellow), corn, peas, anything that grows.
Paula Harrigan had free range eggs.
Dana Peters had watermelons and vine-ripened tomatoes.
Gretchen and John Quarterman had pumpkins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, zucchini bread, pumpkin butter, okra pickles, strawberry jam, sweet corn, and watermelon.

Here’s a playlist for all the movies. There are more pictures in the flickr set.
