And just for the kids...
Slim Harrison will be giving programs for children on the "river" side of Fort Hunter Park on Fort Hunter Day. Join the Sunnyland Band! Slim invites children of all ages to play and beat along to some good old folk song favorites. Come on up and try your hand at playing the spoons, jugs, washboards, skiffleboards, limberjack, washtub bass and much more!
