Monday I braved the heat to walk down to Meyers Park for the Herkimer Downtown Chowdown. My favorite band, The Posers, were playing. How could I not go? As it happened, I had not been feeling well all day. No specific symptoms, just very run down, tired, and blah. Could I have partied too heartily on the weekend? SAY IT AIN’T SO!!! I walked to the post office first, to mail a few postcards, then wandered around the park, deciding what to eat.
I finally decided on a hot dog from K Dogs BBQ. It was big! It was yummy! I sat down at a picnic table in the shade and did not have long to wait till the band started.
They rock!
It was difficult to get a good shot, because of the posts on the pavilion and the setting sun. Then again, I am an amateur with a cell phone. A professional photographer was there and a friend shared some beautiful shots from him on Facebook. Minter Photography was the guy (for once I was not too lazy to go looking for it). You can check out his Facebook page.
It’s too bad I was not in the mood to dance.
I did boogey a little while I took the pictures but was not my usual Dancing Queen self (I did not dub myself that; a fellow at work did) (yes, I dance at work. If they don’t want me to dance, they should not play music).
Bass players rule!
Of course I had to zoom in on my friend Rick, the bass player. I also tried to get a good shot of Becky, the drummer.
You just can’t beat a good drummer. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
Probably I should have tried for a few shots. I must clean out the storage on my Tablet, which takes better pictures.
I love the ceiling of the pavilion.
I guess I don’t have a whole lot more to say than they were great, here are some pictures.
One more shot.
I was sorry I did not feel up to staying to hear more, but I was happy I had been there to support a community event as well as some of my favorite local musicians. The Herkimer Downtown Chowdown runs every Monday in Meyers Park. You can get some good food and hear some great music!

Thank you my beautiful friend. I was sad to see you leave but I totally understand. You did a group of walking to start with and the heat was prevalent and that has a negative effect on me too.
We love you and appreciate your blog so very much.
Hope you’re feeling better and someday get to chat a bit. ❤️❤️☮️🎸
Thanks! I hope next time I hear you guys play I get to really boogey down!
