If you want to learn more about IOU's Blessings Food Pantry, their holiday baskets and toy exchange, the counseling services they help subsidize and their fuel bank, please stop by The Thrift Store on Lower Main in Callicoon. They're friendly, helpful and offer a wonderful assortment of clothes, appliances and furniture for everyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ojU7QmpcbH8/TeUaJKkdhlI/AAAAAAAAAEw/ye28j3QylC8/s1600/friends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ojU7QmpcbH8/TeUaJKkdhlI/AAAAAAAAAEw/ye28j3QylC8/s400/friends.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;At 10 am, our first official swapper was Linda Bastian who rattled off--three times fast--"Callicoon Creek Park Plant Swap" and was rewarded with an embossed ceramic pot planted with a hearty batch of oregano. (Thanks to Ginny Boyle!) In fact, Linda returned several times and even dug up flowers donated by Mother Joan LaLiberte and brought those along with her own flowering geraniums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wuruKy74A4U/TeUaMmLSU7I/AAAAAAAAAE4/p4YQZ_IBwqw/s1600/threetimes_fast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="276" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wuruKy74A4U/TeUaMmLSU7I/AAAAAAAAAE4/p4YQZ_IBwqw/s400/threetimes_fast.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Three Times Fast!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The camaraderie of Swap Day itself is a joy but I think my favorite thing is knowing that as each winter turns to spring, Linda’s geraniums, Marcie’s mint, Joan’s Episcopal lilies, and Ginny’s oregano will be poking through the soil in untold gardens for as long as someone tends them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that light, The Callicoon Creek Park Association offers especial thanks to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.visitcallicoon.com/BUSINESS/flower_garden_farm.html" target="blank"&gt;Delaware Valley Farm &amp;amp; Garden store (Agway)&lt;/a&gt; for its generous donation of pepper, tomato, brussels sprouts and broccoli seedlings which left the tent like hotcakes;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sondra Patton for transporting a huge variety and hundreds of heirloom tomatoes and squashes from her greenhouse in Long Island;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will Conway, Master Gardener and subject of a recent &lt;a href="http://ourcountryhome.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/meet-master-gardener-will-conway/" target="blank"&gt;Our Country Home article&lt;/a&gt;, who spent the entire day with us answering questions and providing recommendations for plant selection, siting, soil and pest management, complementary sowing and weed controls. We were extremely grateful for his knowledge and ability to de-mystify the horticultural tangle of Latin and soil types.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;And to the many swappers who made the day a success with the gifts they brought and took away we say, "Be sure to visit next year! Thanks to your generosity, several new plantings will be seen in the Park this summer--ask about them when you come down for our &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/search/label/Park%20Events"&gt;Under The Moon in Callicoon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; concert series in July!--and we were even able to split $130 with The IOU whose programs are so necessary in these difficult economic times."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8oA0hCRl9sY/TeUcKpMFkwI/AAAAAAAAAE8/wxO0L-N6Z3Q/s1600/tea_anyone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="271" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8oA0hCRl9sY/TeUcKpMFkwI/AAAAAAAAAE8/wxO0L-N6Z3Q/s400/tea_anyone.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tea, anyone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Lastly, as I sip the iced tea I made this morning from sprigs of Marcie's Mint and Dottie's Lemon Balm, I tip my glass to the Swaps to come and thank Alex Siroc for photos that captured the day! --Liz Bucar&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/595740573264453202-4976153661288324783?l=callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/feeds/4976153661288324783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2011/05/second-annual-callicoon-creek-park.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/4976153661288324783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/4976153661288324783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2011/05/second-annual-callicoon-creek-park.html' title='Second Annual Callicoon Creek Park Plant Swap: Veggies, Herbs, Ornamentals and Friends!'/><author><name>callicoon creek park</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11910295904078924899</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S8831aHwECI/AAAAAAAAACU/WiO8VQOC2cU/S220/CCP_logobadge.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R8DBDpTiU1s/TeUaGArvbfI/AAAAAAAAAEs/7Qhf9z4Q5hg/s72-c/callicoon_plant_swap_2011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595740573264453202.post-6103534872743422360</id><published>2011-04-16T11:11:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-06T10:09:17.289-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Callicoon Under The Moon Concert Series'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Park info'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Park Events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Under The Moon Concert Series'/><title type='text'>UPDATE: "Under the Moon in Callicoon" Concert Series 2011</title><content type='html'>The park will be alive with the sound of music, all sorts of music, come July, in our second annual "Under the Moon" concert series. CCPA's mission of a diverse slate for the season&amp;nbsp;has been accomplished with the addition of a night of rock, featuring not one but two local young bands with bright futures. &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/mazmyth" target="blank"&gt;MazMyth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is a five piece progressive fusion band from Livingston Manor with a fast spreading fan base and an impressive list of credits. They will rock the park on &lt;b&gt;July 16&lt;/b&gt;, along with opener &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/AventeGorz/170163829692491" target="blank"&gt;AventeGorz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, self-described on My Space as "Three people uniting into a sound of mass confusion and energy for a matter of moments." The three, from Cochecton, play alternative/psychedelic rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opening the series on &lt;b&gt;July 8&lt;/b&gt;, as promised, will be the always well-received &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.basketlanding.com/" target="blank"&gt;Basket Landing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, eclectic folk musicians, singers and dancers from Hankins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our third concert will bring &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chachoramirez.com/" target="blank"&gt;Chacho Ramirez's Universa Trio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, following the&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dr. Mambo&lt;/b&gt;. Chacho is a musical director, drummer, and composer who performs in the New York metropolitan area, making beautiful music based on West African and Latin rhythms, using standard jazz forms. On &lt;b&gt;July 23&lt;/b&gt;, we will have him and his friends all to ourselves!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Closing the season as only he can, &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bbq-bob.com/" target="blank"&gt;Barbecue Bob&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; will return with the Spareribs on &lt;b&gt;July 30&lt;/b&gt; for his annual smokin' R&amp;amp;B dance party in the park. We love being a regular gig on Bob's busy schedule of performances all over the Northeast! (He makes it south, too, keeping the barbecue real.) Opening for Bob once again will be our own &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.janetburgan.com/" target="blank"&gt;Janet Burgan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, singer, songwriter, concert producer, and really cool MC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All shows take place at 8 p.m. in Callicoon Creek Park, off Audley Dorrer Drive, in Callicoon, NY. The suggested donation at the door is $12, children under 12 will be admitted free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p"&gt;The July 16, 23 and 30 concerts are partially funded by a 2011 Decentralization grant, allocated by the New York State Council on the Arts and administered locally by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, Narrowsburg, NY.&lt;/p"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/595740573264453202-6103534872743422360?l=callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/feeds/6103534872743422360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2011/04/update-under-moon-in-callicoon-concert.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/6103534872743422360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/6103534872743422360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2011/04/update-under-moon-in-callicoon-concert.html' title='UPDATE: &quot;Under the Moon in Callicoon&quot; Concert Series 2011'/><author><name>callicoon creek park</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11910295904078924899</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S8831aHwECI/AAAAAAAAACU/WiO8VQOC2cU/S220/CCP_logobadge.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595740573264453202.post-3639192564459713407</id><published>2011-04-13T15:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T15:13:09.679-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Plant swap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Park Events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In the Garden'/><title type='text'>The 2nd Annual Callicoon Creek Park Plant and SEED Swap (Under the Tent)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nyuQgkzONVU/TaXx_lLn17I/AAAAAAAAAEg/DhWJB3ZrMZY/s1600/Tomscontributions.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nyuQgkzONVU/TaXx_lLn17I/AAAAAAAAAEg/DhWJB3ZrMZY/s400/Tomscontributions.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;some selections from last year's swap&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;When:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Saturday May 21st from 10 am to 2 pm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Where:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  Creekside on Dorrer Road in Callicoon, NY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;You have just six weeks to get ready!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plant your favorite seedlings and then swap for something you've never grown before! Share your spring cullings!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT, before you grab that list you've been compiling since the teaser-days of March, we're trying some new things this year (including a seed swap):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;The Swap is flora-ecumenical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; All plants and seeds are invited! (Heirloom seeds will swap like hot cakes!) (Just like last year, non-food plants left after The Swap will be donated to The Callicoon Creek Park.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year, we're encouraging extra seeds, veggies &amp;amp; herbs which we'll share with area families (The  Callicoon Thrift Store/IOU Food Pantry* is in trouble. As is their home heating bank. The more veggies in the Swap, the more we'll be able to "plant" in the hands of families who'll put them to good use. Strategies are still being devised and suggestions are welcome!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Extra Pots &amp;amp; Containers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Honestly! If you share some of your pots, cans &amp;amp; baskets, you'll be able to park in the garage next winter! (Container gardens are a great way for "newbie gardeners" to succeed their first time which makes life better all the way around.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;An on-site Master Gardener.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Not just for Newbies! After the Swap last year, we wrote, "...the tented area [was filled] with an evergreen shrub...and truth be told, stuff we couldn't identify." We also received many cultivation and pest repellant questions so we've asked a local guru to donate some Swap Advice.                 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;No plants, pots/containers to swap?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Join us anyway.

But it was under the tutelage of these master bluesmen, that Dan Brother began his guitar playing and singing career.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="ecxMsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Since his teens, Dan Brother has been performing in venerable local blues clubs like The Corner Stage, Waterwheel Café, Bodle’s Opera House, and The Downtown. Having shared the stage with mentors like his, it’s no wonder Dan picked up a little of everything along the way – from protest era psychedelia to straight-up blues; classic era soul to southern rock and Texas twang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="ecxMsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Now in his twenties, Dan’s star is rising faster than ever. Having turned all that early on-stage learning into a sound all his own, Dan’s high energy performances are drawing fans new and old to an increasing number of gigs and venues every month. Dan’s fans expect a mix of blues, soul, rock &amp;amp; roll, and the band accommodates, with sets that go from low-down monstrous slow blues to booty-grooving ecstatic funk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="ecxMsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Fiery guitar work is Dan’s forte. He twists and squeezes notes out of his guitar with furious aplomb, often leaving all kinds of audiences – from young college crowds to older fans of guitar music – with a look of “whoa” on their faces. Unlike so many guitar slingers, he is also a gifted songwriter. His upcoming debut CD will feature a dozen tracks all written or co-written by Dan. These road tested songs – including the crowd pleasing (Plain Ol’) White Girl – have already proven to be built on danceable grooves, with memorable sing-along hooks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="ecxMsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Dan’s band, eponymously named, currently features Pedro “Big Thurrsty” Johnson on drums and Jason Upchurch on electric bass guitar.

Families started arriving at about 6 o'clock with their barbecues in tow.  It was a lovely evening for a cook-out and as the sun went down the stars came out.  So did about 200 people!!  Lawn chairs, coolers and picnics were spread out and there were more than a few children running, dancing and playing.  What a joy to look down from the stage and watch the young ones having such fun!  And then, the band we'd all been waiting for since last summer - BARBECUE BOB AND THE SPARERIBS!!! The dancing started and the party was in full swing.   As usual, Bob and the Ribs had the joint jumpin' for two hours straight - no rest for the wicked (and you can decide who the wicked were)!  What a fabulous night - thanks to all who helped make this concert happen, worked so hard and especially to the audience.  We couldn't put on a show like this without you!!  I have a feeling we'll be doing this again next year - so mark your calendars for the last Saturday of July!  And, don't forget the last concert in the Under The Moon In Callicoon 2010 series, Saturday, August 21st with The Holy Cows and the Dan Brother Band.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/595740573264453202-6847975330221747790?l=callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/feeds/6847975330221747790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/08/barbecue-bob-spareribs-hit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/6847975330221747790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/6847975330221747790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/08/barbecue-bob-spareribs-hit.html' title='Barbecue Bob &amp; The Spareribs A Hit!'/><author><name>Janet Burgan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392947629858792142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/S8eLrlI8lkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/D6hTH-7ysmM/S220/54+Chair_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TFxeMx9k6xI/AAAAAAAAAEk/dKi368oId0w/s72-c/enjoyingthegreatevening.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595740573264453202.post-1025087962337839703</id><published>2010-07-27T11:13:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-27T12:19:17.446-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Callicoon Under The Moon Concert Series'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Park Events'/><title type='text'>Janet Burgan and Barbecue Bob &amp; The Spareribs, Saturday July 31st</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TE77kxRI_iI/AAAAAAAAAEM/lf2tY4YSGNw/s1600/bowling_bob.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498608804185046562" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TE77kxRI_iI/AAAAAAAAAEM/lf2tY4YSGNw/s320/bowling_bob.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TE77klIs3OI/AAAAAAAAAEE/skupS4ETf1I/s1600/Janet+Burgan.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498608800928423138" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TE77klIs3OI/AAAAAAAAAEE/skupS4ETf1I/s320/Janet+Burgan.jpg" style="display: block; height: 320px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 213px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Saturday night's show will go on RAIN OR SHINE, with my opening set at 8PM and Barbecue Bob &amp;amp; the Spareribs starting a little after 9PM!!  Our rain venue is the Delaware Youth Center, so be sure to put us on your calendars.  Last year when I was invited to put a concert together for the Park, my immediate thought was to book Barbecue Bob &amp;amp; the Spareribs.  I've known Barbecue Bob for many years as we were both on the same circuit in New York City.  As a matter of fact, I went out on my nights off if Bob was playing.  That's saying something when you're a bar musician--the last place you want to you on your night off is another bar!!  But to hear Bob and the boys--you betcha!!  I'm thrilled that we can reprise our concert this year.  If you attended last year, you know how great it was, if not - you'll have to join us this year.  I guarantee you a fabulous time.  We've had to make a doggy decision, though.  As a courtesy for others, please leave your pooch at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about Barbecue Bob &amp;amp; the Spareribs, please go to &lt;a href="http://www.bbq-bob.com/" target="blank"&gt;www.bbq-bob.com&lt;/a&gt; and to find our more about my music go to &lt;a href="http://www.janetburgan.com/" target="blank"&gt;www.janetburgan.com&lt;/a&gt;.  See you Saturday!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're attending the Barnfest and Field Day, please stop by our show on your way home --Bob should just be getting started and we'll be dancing until 11PM!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/595740573264453202-1025087962337839703?l=callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/feeds/1025087962337839703/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/07/janet-burgan-and-barbecue-bob-spareribs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/1025087962337839703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/1025087962337839703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/07/janet-burgan-and-barbecue-bob-spareribs.html' title='Janet Burgan and Barbecue Bob &amp; The Spareribs, Saturday July 31st'/><author><name>Janet Burgan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392947629858792142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/S8eLrlI8lkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/D6hTH-7ysmM/S220/54+Chair_1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TE77kxRI_iI/AAAAAAAAAEM/lf2tY4YSGNw/s72-c/bowling_bob.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595740573264453202.post-248357446097512542</id><published>2010-07-16T09:31:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-16T09:36:07.336-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Callicoon Under The Moon Concert Series'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Park Events'/><title type='text'>Basket Landing Friday, July 16th at 8PM</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TEBfUxwtr0I/AAAAAAAAADs/S1v38aflt_0/s1600/BL_Group.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 187px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TEBfUxwtr0I/AAAAAAAAADs/S1v38aflt_0/s320/BL_Group.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494496355951685442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Our second concert of the season will be Friday, July 16th with Basket Landing  at 8PM.

Exhibitors include over 35 artists, artisans, contemporary art galleries, art collectives, publishers, and activist citizen groups from near and far.  Delaware Valley Opera Company,  Zintas Yoga, Lucy in the Sky,  MGM Grand, and Walter Dunderville will perform, and soap boxes await poets, storytellers and political orators. As we go to post, rumors of hamster boxing, pig racing and mule sniffing remain unconfirmed, but bric-a-brac, nic-a-nac, and good times are assured.

A beautiful rainbow appeared and the rain stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TDxjtPHLw5I/AAAAAAAAADY/XchTicQQofs/s1600/firstarrivals.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493375274287088530" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TDxjtPHLw5I/AAAAAAAAADY/XchTicQQofs/s320/firstarrivals.jpg" style="height: 223px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Beaverkill 5-4321 (now known as Hezekiah Loveland) hit the stage a little after 8PM and got the party started.  As dusk fell, Dominique Jenkins from Matthew’s On Main came over to introduce the Riff Kings and the dancing started in earnest.  Thanks, Matthew’s, for sponsoring the Riff Kings for the first concert of the season.  How fortunate that it didn’t rain again.  Apparently it rained really hard out at Bethel Woods during the Moody Blues concert.  We had audience members from there that arrived to our Park soaking wet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TDxjsR-VdAI/AAAAAAAAADA/zEcjOObsHX4/s1600/beautifulevening.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img 0pt;="" 10px;="" 228px;="" 320px;"="" alt="" border="0" height:="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493375257875411970" margin-bottom:="" margin-left:="" margin-right:="" margin-top:="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/TDxjsR-VdAI/AAAAAAAAADA/zEcjOObsHX4/s320/beautifulevening.jpg" width:="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a great start to our 2010 concert season.

I can't wait to hear the Riff Kings on Saturday, July 10th!  My friend Darren Wiseman and his band, Beaverkill 5-4321 will open the show at 8PM.  Peter Florance, the guitarist of the Riff Kings, describes the band as "50's and 60's dance music with originals in that same vein."  The Riff Kings are based in Honesdale, Pennsylvania and Peter has a company called Peter Florance Voodoo Pickups, a company that hand makes guitar pickups.  Look them up online at www.voodoopickups.com.  We are super grateful to our friend and neighbor, Matthew's On Main, for partially funding this concert.  So grab your honey and your dancing shoes and get ready to party!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/595740573264453202-5173918862028016195?l=callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/feeds/5173918862028016195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/06/riff-kings-to-kick-off-summer-concert.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/5173918862028016195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/5173918862028016195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/06/riff-kings-to-kick-off-summer-concert.html' title='Riff Kings To Kick Off Summer Concert Series!!'/><author><name>Janet Burgan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392947629858792142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fc4hwpXq2iI/S8eLrlI8lkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/D6hTH-7ysmM/S220/54+Chair_1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595740573264453202.post-2449999849516128942</id><published>2010-05-25T19:01:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T19:03:11.751-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Plant swap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Park Events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In the Garden'/><title type='text'>Plant Swap:  "How Cool!"</title><content type='html'>To borrow from the film,  &lt;i&gt;Field of Dreams,  &lt;/i&gt;"Put up a tent and they will come!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S_wV8GkNWMI/AAAAAAAAADc/YwntVIHVfaQ/s1600/plantswap_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="365" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S_wV8GkNWMI/AAAAAAAAADc/YwntVIHVfaQ/s400/plantswap_2.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And come they did.  We met neighbors we never knew we had from south of Narrowsburg, the heart of Fremont and across the River in Damascus. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tom, recently retired,  had returned to gardening after years of not having time.  In his zeal (don't we know!)  he found himself with more tomato plants,  red and yellow small and sweet strawberries and peppers than he could possible plant or eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Long-time neighbors like Jo Clearwater (many thanks for the flats of flowers!) filled our tables and the tented area with an evergreen shrub,  herbs, perennials, annuals and truth be told,  stuff we couldn't identify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S_wUK4wVCxI/AAAAAAAAADU/6vOGFNFDzgM/s1600/plantswap_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="341" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S_wUK4wVCxI/AAAAAAAAADU/6vOGFNFDzgM/s400/plantswap_1.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The River Valley morning dawned on a perfect spring day and The Callicoon Creek Park, freshly mowed (thanks to our Town workers!)  stretched in welcome along the banks of the Delaware River.  Many "swappers"  had seen our postings on the &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/udcommunitynetwork"&gt;Upper Delaware Networkers &lt;/a&gt;--   an excellent resource for discovering what our local artists, musicians and small businesses are up to; while many others  had been shopping or strolling  on Lower Main,   saw our tent and wandered over to see what all the fuss was about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"How cool!"  said one smiling woman.  "I just love this park!  And a plant swap? What better way to meet the neighbors?"    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Seeming to bear her out,  our visitors didn't just take their new plantings and traipse off, they lingered -- like in the old days in a general store around pickle and cracker barrels -- chatting about gardening, mulching,  fertilizing and local issues that shape our lives.  As we helped carry boxes of mint, rhubarb and phlox to waiting cars, we heard snatches of conversations that ranged from drilling and poetry to the state of the economy and the plight of our local dairy farmers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In fact,  everyone who came wanted to know if  The Plant Swap would be an annual event and their enthusiasm resulted in a surprising number of donations that  will be used to buy new plantings and help support the many activities we sponsor in The Callicoon Creek Park each year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many thanks to all  who made this first Plant Swap outing a  "wonderful day in the neighborhood" and we look forward to many more!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/595740573264453202-2449999849516128942?l=callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/feeds/2449999849516128942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/05/plant-swap-how-cool.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/2449999849516128942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/595740573264453202/posts/default/2449999849516128942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com/2010/05/plant-swap-how-cool.html' title='Plant Swap:  &quot;How Cool!&quot;'/><author><name>Liz Bucar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13398679226813342355</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6NKhYC-b4d0/S_wV8GkNWMI/AAAAAAAAADc/YwntVIHVfaQ/s72-c/plantswap_2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595740573264453202.post-7443911261243132071</id><published>2010-05-21T00:13:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T14:34:09.959-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In the Garden'/><title type='text'>Cleanup and Weeding at the Park Continues . . .</title><content type='html'>For those of you on your way to Pecks on Monday morning or stopping in at Landers you may have noticed a few of us in the Park hunched over some of the beds. &amp;nbsp;We began weeding--with much more weeding to do.
