Tickets are on sale for an event that promises to bring some enchantment into the lives of area girls.

First Baptist Church of Franklin will present its second annual fundraising gala, A Fairy Enchanted Princess Ball, from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 5, at the Sandycreek fire hall. Girls ages 3 and older may attend the event with their guardian. The ball is a princess-themed afternoon which benefits The Magic Yarn Project. The volunteer-based chari-ty provides “homespun wigs for little cancer fighters” free of charge for girls battling cancer.

This year’s event includes a light lunch buffet after which girls will enjoy princess-themed crafts, a beauty salon, and photo booth among other activities. Her Royal Highness Queen Adelynn and her ladies-in-waiting will also be in attendance to oversee the festivities.

Nicole Powell, the event’s organizer, said she was proud of the inaugural 2017 event.

“We welcomed 200 guests and raised $1,500 for The Magic Yarn Project. We are confident that we will exceed that amount this year, especially because the local community has been generous in sponsoring our event,” Powell said.

Due to the overwhelming success of last year’s event, the planning committee voted to move to a bigger venue in order to increase the number of available tickets.

“Last year we sold out, and even had a waiting list for tickets. Ultimately, we had to turn people away because there were no

seats left,” Powell said. “You know that you have started something special when moms are already talking about which princess dress their daughter wants to wear this year and telling their friends how much fun their girls had last year.”

The motivation for starting the Princess Ball came about because of a

link that appeared on Powell’s Facebook feed.

“The Magic Yarn Project was about two years old at the time, and they were looking for donations of yarn for their princess wigs,” Powell said. “The Princess Ball came about because we wanted to raise funds by offering a fun, elegant event for girls and their parents so as to assist The Magic Yarn Project with whatever needs they might have, whether it be purchasing supplies or helping defray the cost of shipping wigs to the families who request them. It is a worthy cause because they are an entirely volunteer-based organization; not only do they make all their princess wigs by hand, but they provide them free of

charge to any family who requests one.”All tickets for this event are $15 and

will be on sale through Friday, April 20, at First Baptist Church of Franklin by calling 432-8061, or at the Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce by calling at 432-5823.

Due to the limited number of seats, guests are encouraged to purchase their tickets early.

Princess ball organizers are also seek-ing volunteers interested in helping at the event, face painters, balloon artists and door prizes.

Long Tall Deb and Colin John will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday as part of the Karma concert series. Admission is $5. The concert will be held at 237 Seneca St., Oil City.

“I first heard them at the Franklin Blues and BBQ Fest two years ago. They were wonderful,” said Neal Williams, a musician and sound mixer who helped book the performers for the concert.

The musicians’ genres are listed as soul, gospel, swamp and blues, accord-ing to their Facebook page.

The group tours in Europe every sum-mer, and at the moment, guitarist Colin John has been in Hawaii for the past few months playing shows. Deb spent a cou-ple of months with him, but is back home in Ohio finishing details for the release day of their new album.

Their new album, “Dragonfly,” is due for release Friday, March 30, but they will have copies at the performance, according to Williams.

Williams reported that the album was already getting good early reviews.

According to the duo’s website, “Dragonfly” follows up on the themes of their 2015 EP, “Streets of Mumbai.” The new album incorporates a bedrock of blues and soul sensibilities with rock and roll, surf, spaghetti western, noir jazz,

pop, Americana and world roots influ-ences gleaned from their travels through-out America, Europe, India and Nepal.

With the exception of “Lungs,” the songs are all original compositions, fea-turing Long Tall Deb’s signature soulful vocals and her multiple-threat partner Colin John on duet vocals, backing vocals, all acoustic guitars, electric gui-tars, baritone guitar, baby sitar, lap steel and the occasional bass and piano track.

The album features the duo and a cracking band of top musicians and guests including Michael Hill, Jeff Jensen, Mick Kolassa, James Cunningham, Bill Rufino, Chris Stephenson and Claudia Hernandez; the core band of Nate Holman, organ; Cliff Starbuck and Melvin Powe, bass; Jimmy Castoe and Jo El on drums. Their talents are all brought together by pro-ducer Michael Landolt — Coldplay, O.A.R — at the helm.

More information on the band is avail-able online at www.longtalldeb.com/new-page. The group’s music is available on iTunes, Amazon and other digital download sites.

Meanwhile, the Karma concerts con-tinue to draw crowds.

“We have had outstanding attendance for every Thursday night concert ... even the snowstorm nights,” Williams said.

To date the concert series has raised approximately $4,000 for the Lyric Theatre renovation project.

Other performances in the series

include Tammi Dahl and Mark Dewalt on March 15, Nine in Dog Years on March 22 and Hanna, Williamson and Shick on March 29.

GAMES PARTY

Hidden Drive, a well-known and pop-ular area bluegrass band that is celebrat-ing its 32nd anniversary this year, will be performing a concert Friday, March 9, at the National Transit Building in Oil City.

The concert, part of the Oil City Arts Council’s Winter Concert Series, will begin at 7:30 p.m. and conclude at 9:30 p.m. The cost of admission is $10 for non-members of the arts council and $8 for members.

Two of the original band members, brothers Jim Dick, guitar player, and Ron Dick, mandolin player, started playing bluegrass music as teenagers. As chil-dren, they often traveled to bluegrass festivals and grew up with the love of music in their blood. They formed the band Hidden Drive in 1985 and the brothers are the nucleus of the band, sharing most of the lead vocals and har-monies.

They are joined by Steve Thompson,

an “honorary brother” who has been with the band for 20 years. Thompson plays the upright bass. A very accomplished bass player, he has played everything from bluegrass to classical music. He also helps out on vocals, singing lead and harmony on many songs, and brings his own unique style to the band.

Joining Hidden Drive, as of this year, is Jim Dick’s son Adam. Playing banjo for the band, Adam Dick started out playing rock-and-roll music, but soon accepted his family’s musical heritage and switched to playing bluegrass music. He adds to the family sound with his harmony and lead vocals.

As Hidden Drive and as individuals, band members have helped to promote bluegrass music in the local area of northwest Pennsylvania, just as their par-ents did, with the goal of keeping the genre of bluegrass music alive and grow-ing.

The band has played at many festivals

and venues throughout northeastern Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, hoping to bring something to every audi-ence that will keep their toes tapping and hands clapping.

The band recently played at the Oil Country Bluegrass Festival in Oil City. They are scheduled to play at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 17, during the Clarion River Jam Bluegrass Festival.

CLARION — Clarion University Theatre will present “Becky’s New Car” in the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre. Show times are 8 p.m. today and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.

About the show: Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle manage-ment and in a middling marriage — with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night, a socially inept and grief-stricken millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life, and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn’t dare. “Becky’s New Car,” a play by Steven Dietz, is a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken, said producers.

Tickets are $12 for adults, free for students with valid ID. This show is not suitable for children younger than 14.

For tickets, people may visit www.clarionuniversitytickets.com or call (814) 393-2787.
