Azurat Music to Benefit Boxerwood July 6th


July 6, Saturday -- AZURAT
A home party just over the Parkway in Nelson County 
This year the non-profit that Azurat chose to benefit is Boxerwood!
Music starts at noon. Rain or shine. Dress for comfort ... hot by day, cool at night.No cost to attend, however a minimum contribution is suggested for Boxerwood!
Email RSVP and to get directions: sherri@azurat.com ....... www.azurat.com
Our two stages are back dropped by mountains in a gorgeous Blue Ridge hollow with fantastic natural acoustics. There’s 53 mountain acres with lots of great places to hike and camp. If you decide to camp, bring your own gear.. No camper-trailers on our property; however there are campgrounds near by. Or we can send you a list of the local B & B’s and hotel/motels. NO PETS. Bring lawn chairs, picnic blankets and sun protection. BYO whatever libations & day-foods you enjoy (we’ll provide water, lemonade & snowcone making by day, coffee by night). Dinner is potluck at 7pm-ish and EVERYONE is asked to bring something to share. After dark we will set the bonfires, light sparklers, eat Smores and rock on into the night. On Sunday morning the music organically begins as those who stay over night as some feel moved to jam (or not). We'll perk the coffee, stoke the campfire and set out a light breakfast (it's on us!) for any who camp over. The festivities come to a close around 1:00 PM on Sunday.
