You are running out of time to get that last minute Christmas present ( hint hint, nudge nudge) but we’re not here for that. We’re here to tell you what’s going on as we see it. So here we go: Don’t forget Chestnut Grove and The Whiskeyhickon Boys jamming at Sellersville ( Yes, we still think this is a BIG deal). Kim & Paul, Big Daddy & The Fender Benders, Monkey Bizzness, Go Commando and Born Cross Eyed round out the WTIM friends rocking this week. That’s not all; again we have a couple special mentions! Donald from Boyertown is at it again over at Divots, this time bringing us Santa’s Lip Sync Battle featuring Music by Soundfactor Entertainment, and special guest appearances by the Coors Light Girls, Ms. Santa, a JELL-O shot shooting Elf on the Shelf, Jolly Old Saint Nick himself and more. Even Donald isn’t sure who’s going to show up. But it’s going to be a blast.
Last, but surely not least, check out the Holiday Hunger Jam at The Other Farm. This is a benefit for the Boyertown Multi-Service and all the AWESOME programs they provide. These folks are all near and dear to my heart. Please bring on-perishable food items or CASH (5’s, 10’s and 20’s are good too) to help out this organization. The imminent jamnation of Stephen Kurtz, Dan Bower and Mike B will be something we’ll be talking about ‘till next Christmas. Get out and support our local talent and civic organizations!
