On behalf of the Granite Church and SpreadMusicNow, we would like to thank everyone who was part of our debut event on May 18th. What an amazing day of celebration for our community. The energy was palpable and so many families joined the fun. Children dancing and doing arts and crafts, live music playing, and a wonderful variety of dogs and one splendid cat.
Attendance from all of the towns that comprise Georgetown was exciting, and it was wonderful that many people could walk from their homes.
Our incredible group of volunteers and community partners made the event a success. A special shout out to the Creative Advisory Committee that planned and managed all of the programming for the day. Thank you so much!
We could not have made it through the day without some delicious grub! A big thank you to the Redding Roadhouse and Uncle Leo’s for serving us all food.
One of our favorite moments from the day was the children’s dancing seminar with Melissa Stern. We were amazed by the children’s engagement level! They all danced their little hearts out. We could use a few more rainbow llamas – the stuffed animals proved to be excellent dancing companions.
Overall, the Debut event was an enormous success. It exceeded our expectations to gather, connect, and create with the members of our community.
The event also raised $8,800, which will be put toward the restoration of the building and its programming! As a small nonprofit organization, your donations are critical to keeping the doors open. The Granite needs to raise $1.5 million in private donations to pay for the construction costs for the historic rehabilitation of the building. This will provide new accessible entrances and bathrooms, and a roof and windows that don’t leak.
