It was a beautiful Fall day in Aurora, Kentucky. The Echoes joined with several other gospel groups to perform outdoors under a cool, partly sunny sky, at an event sponsored by the Aurora Baptist Church.
Each October, the little Kentucky Lake town of Aurora has a fall festival, when the town population temporarily grows to many times its normal size. Food booths, craft booths, flea markets, and a parade make it a popular yearly destination for a lot of people.
We arrived as the Canaanland Quartet was singing, and followed them for a 1-hour set. Then, it was Tarnished Gold who sang until parade time. Other groups were scheduled to sing after the parade.
The stage was on a large flatbed trailer, and the area took on a dinner concert atmosphere, as people sat around at tables eating the delicious food that the church was selling as a fund raiser. David wanted to be sure they didn't run out of Bean Soup and Cornbread, but commented after the song "I Wish I Could Have Been There" that perhaps Jesus could multiply that like he did the loaves and fishes. Anyway, David found that there was plenty of Beans and Cornbread available.
What better way to spend a beautiful, outdoor, fun day, participating in the tradition of celebrating God's blessing on a bountiful harvest. It just doesn't get much better than that!
