Proposal for Band Organ Rally in North Carolina
By Tommy Forney

I'm wondering if there would be interest in a small band organ rally in
October in the North Carolina foothills.  The date would be Sunday,
October 23, 2005.  We are promoting several events in October, including
the 225th Anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain, at Kings Mountain
Military Park (actually just across the border in South Carolina -- the
town of Kings Mountain is in Cleveland County, North Carolina) and the
third annual Art of Sound Festival in uptown Shelby, North Carolina,
on Saturday the 22nd.  See http://www.ccartscouncil.org/artofsound/

I envision as few as three organs in addition to our Artizan A-2 at our
restored carousel in our small but picturesque park with tree lined
streets and sidewalks, miniature train and playground.  A unique event
in a mild October climate in a part of the country that rarely sees
a band organ rally.  Contact me direct or discuss the pros and cons on
the list.
