fun IN THE w ^mT 7-^JHBH W> > A xJwMx bZvJ^PßE*®®^ flf s ; x Xj J WL ywIF yr a SIZZLIN’ BLUES & BBQ!!! GUITAR LEGEND LUTHER ALLISON TO ELECTRIFY FIREFL Y Blues sensation Luther Allison first set the music world on fire at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival in the late 60’s and early 70’s with his live-wire guitar playing, passionate vocals and regal command of the stage. More popular than ever both here and abroad, Allison is recognized as one of the hottest blues artists in history. He just swept the W.C. Handy Awards (the Blues’ equivalent to the Grammys), with an amazing five wins — Best Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Best Blues Instrumentalist (guitar), Best Contemporary Blues Album of the Year (Blue Streak), and Best Blues Song of the Year (“Cherry Red Wine”). This summer, Luther Allison has made Firefly one of the first stops on his 1996 powerhouse U.S. Tour. He will perform on Saturday, July 27, at 8 p.m. at St. Patrick’s County Park. The park’s concessionaire will be serving up sizzling barbecue for the occasion. The 14th of 15 musically gifted siblings, Allison was born in Mayflower, Arkansas. Despite the fact that five of his brothers were in a gospel group known as the Southern Travelers, another brother played with Freddie King s band and his mother adored gospel music, young Allison aspired to be a baseball player, not a musician! Fortunately for the world of blues, his muse lured him back to the music that would become his life’s passion. Tickets are $9.00 for adults in advance and $ll.OO the day of performance and children ages six to 16 are $3.00 each. The delicious BBQ chicken and other treats will be available for purchase at the park, picnics are also welcome. “CRAM THE COVE TO FIGHT CANCER" On Friday, August 9, a very special event will be held at Coveleski Stadium, South Bend, during the Silver Hawks game against the Fort Wayne Wizards. CRAM THE COVE is an effort to raise both awareness about prevention and the funds necessary to help combat cancer. In order to achieve both purposes, the event will feature special promotional activities designed to encourage maximum attendance. The first 3,000 fans age 15 and younger to enter the stadium will be given an insulated lunch bag with the message, “I am tobacco free and proud.” Those receiving the bags will be given a pledge card for them to sign stating their intention to be tobacco free. Also, as part of this special night, local celebrities will be working as vendors selling food and beverages, with their tips and commissions going to the American Cancer Society for their cancer fighting efforts. A number of prizes will be given away as well. The idea is to create so much excitement that people will literally “Cram The Cove” and break the single game attendance record. The American Cancer Society will further benefit because a percentage of the proceeds collected from every ticket sold will be donated to them for their efforts. CRAM THE COVE To Fight Cancer is a memorial event designed to pay tribute to one of the Silver Hawks’ biggest fans, Rita Jankowski. Known as the “first nurse” of Coveleski Stadium, Rita died of liver cancer early in 1995. She had served as the stadium’s head nurse since 1987. Rita J. was such a huge fan that the Silver Hawks have decided to dedicate this game to her. “It is our hope that by sponsoring Cram The Cove To Fight Cancer we can raise public awareness about cancer as well as return some of the love that Rita so graciously gave us for many years!” says Rita Baxter, vice president of the South Bend Silver Hawks. CRAM THE COVE is sponsored by Partners Health Plan and ASSIST, Coalition for a Tobacco Free Society.
