First Friday includes jazz, Trouble in Paradise

Sept. 2 is First Friday on Historic Main Street with many shops open from 5-8 p.m.
Among the highlights:

Celebrate a "groovy" First Friday at Bootleg Alley Antiques & Art. While listening to the music of Trouble in Paradise, relish a gourmet brat grilled by Chef Gary Bedsworth and Diane Frederick Bedsworth. A brat, chips, and a drink costs $5 with all proceeds benefiting PAWS. Top off dinner with ice cream from SCOOPS.

Be sure to purchase a raffle ticket for a top of the line Tony Lama jacket. Tickets are only $5 each and benefit Greg Day, owner of Macky's Restaurant.

Bootleg Alley Antiques & Art is located at 520 W. Historic Main St. Payson, AZ. First Friday is held monthly from 5-8 PM year-round.

Meanwhile, at Community Presbyterian Church, 800 West Main St., The Trio will hold an open practice session from 5-7 p.m. Trio members include Joanie Smith on guitar and vocals, Bob Tarallo on saxophone and Gerry Reynolds on drums.

The practice is open to the public so come in and hear such tunes as “September in the Rain,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “My Solitude,” “All By Myself,” “Blue Room” and more. The coffee pot will be on.

In addition, catch up with Penny McKinlock at Rick’s Curiosity Shop and find out about her plans for a new Main Street thrift shop to support Rim Country Friends of Ferals and other animal causes.

Finally, Down the Street Art Gallery will feature a photography exhibit and a live demo by Paper Clay artist Dennis Weber, who will be offering a workshop on Sept. 17 on this media with space still available.
