"Fall on the Slopes keeps crowd dancing"

On Wednesday, Oct. 19, Sapphire Valley hosted a return of The Great Imponderables on its ski slopes. The local band plays a wide variety of music that kept everyone dancing all evening long. The band performed tunes from Otis Redding, Elvis, Rod Stewart and many others. Organizers said the clear skies and moderate temperatures, as well as the bonfire, made for a pleasant evening of music and fun. The band was great, and we'll have them back again," said Joyce Bumgarner, the facilities manager. Arrangements are being made to have the band return to perform an indoor event at the Sapphire facility during the ski season. For more information, call the Sapphire Valley Community Center at 743-7663.

"Local Band helps victims of Hurricane Katrina"

One local band volunteered its time and talent at  the "Covered Bridge Festival," an event aimed at raising money for needy families.

This year, the festival, an event held annually on the fourth Saturday in September in Euharlee, Ga., fell on the heels of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"We're not a large group, but we try to do what we can to help people," said John Montgomery, the festival organizer. "This year, it seems the folks in Louisiana and Texas could use our help"

When The Great Imponderables, a Cashiers area band, were invited to headline the festival, they immediately accepted.

"To be asked to be the headliner for the street dance was a real privilege for us," the band said.

The band comprises of Rick Creel, facilitator of the Sapphire planetarium; Creel's son, Nathan; Mike Zinski, owner of a cleaning business in Franklin; and Payton Laughlin, a construction worker from Franklin.

"It was the most fun we've ever had," the band said.

And, most importantly, Montgomery said, "the event  was a success."

The Great Imponderables will perform at the Sapphire Valley Ski Slopes on Oct. 19. For more information on this event, call the Sapphire Valley community Center at (828) 743-7663. For more information about the band, visit http://www.thegreatimponderables.com.
