PeterFest - Day-of Details

PeterFest 2015

Memorial Service and Musical Celebration
of the life of Peter Kramer


1 p.m. Schley Grange Hall
3416 Schley Road, Hurdle Mills, NC

3 p.m. AT DOWN YONDER FARM!
811 Lipscomb Grove Church Road, Hillsborough, NC

The weather should be beautiful!  
BUT, the ground could be a little wet,
so plan accordingly for chairs and groundcloths

 
WHAT TO WEAR Since we'll be moving from the Service at the Grange Hall to an outdoor music festival back at the farm, please dress casually and comfortably for both occasions. Please wear "sensible shoes," as heels just don't work well on our lawn, and you might be walking some distance from your car.

WHAT TO BRING:  The Musical Celebration will be the equivalent of an outdoor concert, so bring folding chairs, blankets, and even a picnic meal if you plan to stay the duration.  Bring water bottles and your beverage(s) of choice. We will have snacks on hand along with iced tea and lemonade.  Remember sun block and bug spray.

NOTE:  We will have seating, extra food, and amenities for our out-of-town guests.

WHAT NOT TO BRING:  1. Children   2. Dogs or any other pets    3. Illicit substances. 
Thank you.

WHERE TO PARK:  There should be ample parking at the Grange, but very limited parking at Down Yonder Farm.  We ask visitors to carpool down to the farm from Lipscomb Grove Baptist Church, which is across the street from the entry to our driveway, and 4/10 of a mile from the farm.  We should have plenty of room if you'll ride down together from the church.  We'll also have a few people driving shuttles.

THE MUSIC:  Peter chose most of the music being played at PeterFest, but we're planning for some open mic time for others to play and sing.  If you'd like to participate,please send an email to downyonderfarm@gmail.com with "OPEN MIC" in the subject line and someone will be in touch to coordinate.

Please take time to sign the register at both places so we'll have a record of your time with us, and please write a card for the memory tree.

EMAIL LIST:  The Down Yonder Fund for the Arts (DYFA) will continue Peter's legacy of generosity and hospitality for musicians and artists.  If you want to receive (very occasional) news of events at the farm, send an email to downyonderfarm@gmail.com with "LIST" in the subject line.

And we are excited to launch downyonderfund.org where you can keep up with events at the farm.

Thank you to all of the generous donors who have made the Down Yonder Fund for the Arts possible, and to the Shared Visions Foundation for housing the fund.  Donations to keep the arts alive on the farm can be made at the blogsite:

We look forward to seeing you all on the 18th!

Susan, Jessie, and Amanda
