Kim Archer concert at Pfingst Animal Acres in lively in spite of weather

Friday, July 12, 2019



Photos and text by Jerry Pickard

After a very wet day on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 the rain stopped around four pm. Two and a half hours later the sun made brief appearances in time for the first concert of the 2019 summer concert season.

The attendance was light compared to previous seasons.

The band was lively, and loud, with little children dancing in front of the stage, they were lively also!



Aegis Living had free water but not many takers due to the cooler weather. Shoreline Arts Council's booth had lots of information and schedules of upcoming attractions.

Everyone enjoyed a lively concert although slightly damp conditions kept many away.

About Love’s Labour’s Lost:

The idealistic resolve of four young men gets tested by four young ladies who show up at their doorstep. The King and his friends vow to abstain from women’s company for three years and devote their time to academics just before the Princess of France and her ladies arrive for a visit. It’s will against want and heart against head in this delightful summer romance. (Learn more about the production here.)
