Need a little culture and music? You gotta go to the show at the Ogden Southern Museum of Art (925 Camp St.) - better known as Ogden after Hours.  The concert starts up at 6:00 pm. with Dehlia Low.  Dehlia is known for her bittersweet vocal harmonies and spirited picking, she promises to bring the sounds and soul of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Ogden.......so come on down for some music, culture and fun and the amazing Bill deTurk (my hubby) will be doing the in depth interview this evening..don't miss it!!

Go hang out at City Park this evening for The Thursdays at Twilight Garden Concert Series with the Washboard Chaz Trio!  The gates open up at 5:00 pm and the performance starts at 6:00 pm in the City Park Botanical Garden Pavilion of the Two Sisters...There is an admission charge, but hey, it's helping the Park out..so....it's a good thing...$8 for adults and $3 for children.

I'm sure you're going to be hungry after the wine tasting and music - so go out to eat tonight for a great cause by participating in Dining Out for Life and you'll support the No Aids Task Force just by eating!!  25% of your dining bill will help out the Task Force, and if you choose to donate a little extra - you and your waiter will be entered into a drawing for a great prize.  The event goes on all day - breakfast, lunch and dinner - so go out and eat!!  Click on the link above for a full list of participating restaurants.

And after eating go enjoy some more music!
