Photography should be fun and rewarding. Living by this simple photo philosophy, Dave's skills as an amateur photographer have grown through the years. Dave's interest in photography started at a very young age. Inspired by his grandfather's example of taking pictures at every family gathering it was natural for him to document the growth of his two sons. After 15 years of developing his skills as a sports photographer, David now applies his skills to nature photography. Dave loves the early morning as he believes the light is wonderfully soft and you can watch the day come alive. David was born and raised in Niles Michigan, and now resides in Linthicum, Maryland. |

| Operating Hours: | 8pm |
| Event Description: |
Audiences will enjoy the eclectic blend of music including traditional, original and contemporary tunes on guitar, banjo, ukulele, fiddle, Native American flute and more. Yvonne Blasy's folk-style original music finds its influences from an eclectic blend of genres, including old style cowboy songs, spirituals, folk, classical, world music and more. She plays guitar, Native American flute, keyboard and piano. Many of her inspirations as a song writer come from the natural ambience of the Great Lakes area where she resides, as well as the great southwestern United States. Her performances are graced with an occasional Native American flute interlude and a joke or two to add a little light humor. Dowagiac-based Bev Smith has been a long time performer on the local and regional music scene. Currently a member of the Barn Owl String Band, based in Goshen, Indiana, Bev, a multi-instrumentalist, performs many styles including Americana, World Music, oldies, Broadway and originals. Recent varied appearances include Bev calling square dances at the Elkhart County museum, contributing Civil War songs with members of the Kalamazoo Folklife Organization, at the KVCC museum in Kalamazoo, and directing or performing at the Barn Swallow Jamboree in Cassopolis, Michigan. |
