Birch Creek Musicians Jazz Up Settlement Fair - Aug 10, 2007 - 2:44:05 PM

The Fourth Annual Settlement Shops Fine Art Fair went off with a flair this year. The Ambassador Jazz Combo from Birch Creek played. And they played well, especially considering these seven teenage boys had only performed music together for a week or so!

A colorful event it was!

The event was held on Saturday, August 4 under sunny skies and fairly warm temperatures. Art and food vendors lined the courtyard between the lodging building of this property and the permanent (although primarily seasonal) retail businesses that offer anything from books to cherry pies.
