BOOTLEG ALLEY FIRST FRIDAY FESTIVITIES
All of the ingredients for an ideal summer evening are included in June's First Friday on Historic Main Street at Bootleg Alley Antiques & Art.

To take advantage of Payson's perfect weather, an outdoor concert will be held featuring the cool rock and light country sounds of Cindy & Lupe. Chef Gary Bedsworth will once again grill gourmet brats from Charlie's Meats with all the fixings. A brat, soda, and chips can be purchased for $5 with all net proceeds going to the Humane Society of Central Arizona.

To celebrate the "dog days of summer" locals and tourists are encouraged to visit the Humane Society table to make a donation or buy a raffle ticket. The Soroptimists will offer See's Chocolate for sale. (Great Father's Day gift!) Be sure to save room for dessert! Scoops will also be on Bootleg Alley's porch.

It's summertime and the livin' is easy and FUN. All are invited to join the gathering on Historic Main Street, June 4 from 5-8 p.m.
