Post-Concert Update

Mar 2, 2023 | Laura's Blog | 2 comments

I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is I developed a respiratory illness and then laryngitis shortly before the benefit concert for Hazel’s House Rescue – and wasn’t able to sing Cat Nap Blues! The band played the MP3 file instead.

The good news is the event was great fun, everyone enjoyed the music of the band, Ten O’Clock Hill, and we raised $452 to benefit the work Brittany Hazel is doing to help the homeless cats, sometimes dogs, and even a bearded dragon or two in the Willamette Valley.

So, here are a bunch of photos of the event.

Friend Margaret, who found the venue for us, George and me
Raffle prizes, with many more following
More of the band in this wonderful venue – Chehalem Winery Tasting Room, Newberg, Oregon
My husband drawing and presenting raffle prizes (every one went to a good home!)
The elegant Mardi Gras mask went home with a cowboy!
And here’s his mother wearing it

If you ever want to celebrate something newsworthy (like the release of my single) I encourage you to consider combining that celebration with a fundraiser for a good cause. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Please spread the love and pass this along to a friend!

Love Your Voice & Voice Your Love,

Laura
