2010 Fall Festival

Saturday, September 4, 2010  Join us for Sipe's first Fall Festival which will benefit the new Transitional Living Program. The afternoon will be filled with a variety of free and almost-free activities, music, food, and entertainment, all taking place on the Sipe's campus. B.Y.O.L.C.  That is, Bring Your Own Lawn Chair to help you enjoy the festivities and the following concert. However, do not bring your own cooler; there will be no alcohol allowed.

Concert  Capping the day will be an outdoor performance by Antsy McClain and The Trailer Park Troubadours at 5:30 p.m. Referred to by country music legend Willie Nelson as a cross between Jimmy Buffet and The Andy Griffith Show, Antsy has many dedicated fans from across the country who travel far and wide to see him perform. His music has been featured in movies, television, and international radio, including NPR's All Things Considered, whose host, Debbie Elliot, called him 'unique and intoxicating.'
