Cool Sounds Concert Series: Evergreen

By: Melinda Hart

Evergreen had listeners on their feet last Thursday at the Cool Sounds Concert Series and Outdoor Market with blues, bluegrass, and swing!

A four part band, Evergreen is comprised of Steve Chiasson, Chris Prickitt, Nel Kennedy and Joe Kennedy. Their performance spanned old time country music, bluegrass, blues and folk.






The audience cheered for both the band, and this couple showing off their dance moves:



Stone Soup Collaborative is a regular vendor at the Outdoor Market, selling farm fresh eggs, organic vegetables and herbs from local farms Hearthfire Hill and Abundant Acre Farm. You can just stop by and pick up a recipe.


“[We have recipes] because people don’t always know what to do with the produce we offer,” says Anne Sheerman of Abundant Acres. According to Sheerman, half the battle of getting people to buy local and organic food is education.







You can find unique handcrafted designs like the one pictured here at Designs by Jackie ‘O.’ Jackie Ouillette sells her designs with her husband Rick, and makes them with her disabled son. “It’s a way for us to connect,” says Ouillette.
