It's time once again for Atwood Summerfest, and this year it's bigger and better than ever!
It's now a two-day festival, with entertainment on Saturday and Sunday, July 28th and 29th.
The fest is a benefit for the Goodman Community Center (formerly known as the Atwood Community Center).
Most of the musical entertainment still happens on Saturday, with music on two stages. New this year: an Eclectic Stage with performances on Sunday.
The event happens on Atwood Avenue..from the Barrymore to Schenck's Corners, with icy cold beverages, ethnic food, cool stuff for sale, and more.

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.

Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
