Well, the concert finally happened last night. Although it did rain for quite a bit of the afternoon, about 3:30, the clouds broke up and we started setting up. It never did rain during the event, but the temperatures did drop down into the 60's. Additionally, at one part of the concert you could tell it was raining to BOTH the North AND the South of us. (Divine intervention was clearly at work).
Therefore, I think our numbers may have been down alittle, but I think the overall consensus was that the concert was great.
Over $3,000 was raised for the causes that we detailed out on our website. The official dollar number will be determined later this week. We have a few details to work out.
If I had to guess, we had probablly 350 people there at the concert's peak. Of course, there were people coming and going at night, so maybe total people was closer to 400-450. No matter, our hope was to raise awareness, raise dollars and perhaps change the life of 1 person. If 1 couple was motivated to adopt 1 kid - then it was all worth it.
Plus we all had FUN. The bands were great.
My sister was the event photographer, so I'll get the memory card from her today and post pictures later.
Thanks to all.
(Now we've got to put this behind us and get going to RUSSIA!!!!!!)
