Preparations for Dancin' in the Streets, Kendrick Place, Knoxville, September 2010 |
Many of the fabulous events and startling moments available in the city come free of charge: music on the street, interesting people, unexpected turns of events. Sometimes the fabulous events come with a price tag, but sometimes the cause or event are worth the price.

Gathering for Dancin' in the Streets, Kendrick Place, Knoxville, September 2010 |
Such was the case Friday night when Dancin' in the Street was the theme for a street fair to raise money for
Knox Heritage. It was fun and a great success. The rain which had threatened all day held off until Saturday (sorry Vols), the music was excellent, thanks to smoking, soulful stylings of
Jenna and the Accidentals and the food and friends were great.

The party was decorated with local art, international flags and sparkling lights in the courtyard beside Kendrick Place. I was the volunteer garbage man and I'm proud to report that around 140 people ate, drank and partied for four hours and produced only about one full bag of garbage, while probably fifteen bags full of plastic, paper and aluminum were recycled.

That looks pretty fun, and Jenna looks lovely as always. I always enjoy talking to her when I run into her now and again.
It was a lot of fun and Jenna was great. I've got to give her music more of a listen, myself. She did mostly covers, but I believe there were a few originals slipped in, as well.
