     <\/span>Snafu: To make a situation confusing or chaotic and my definition of the word, more aptly put, unplanned changes leading to an unexpected outcome.  <\/span>Hutchapalooza began with several snafu\u2019s.  <\/span>But the show must go on and everyone involved in the production stepped up to make this one of the premiere events in downtown Hutch.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
     <\/span>At 10:00 a.m. this past Saturday, DCI Park and Avenue A Park in Hutch, featured a variety of bands with a variety of styles.  <\/span>There was something for everyone from rock to rap to country to bluegrass to heavy metal and oldies.  <\/span>This event was also a double benefit concert for the Salvation Army, who was preparing food at DCI Park, and the Hutchinson Zoo, who was preparing food at Avenue A Park to raise money for the new otter exhibit.   <\/span><\/span>Besides the hot food there were snow-cones and Mel Hambelton was out with their ice cream truck.<\/span><\/div>\n

     <\/span>As the shows opened at each park and at the eleventh hour, Pools Plus cancelled and would not be available to grill food at Avenue A Park.  <\/span>Organizers James Lowe and Steve Lovese didn\u2019t let this bother them, nor did the zoo representatives.  <\/span>One of the zoo reps went home, picked up the family grill and soon the smell of barbecue began wafting through the park.  <\/span>It\u2019s great when groups and people pull together for the common good.   <\/span>You can\u2019t keep a good benefit down. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/span>      <\/span><\/span>Several bands over the course of the day cancelled due to various reasons, one or two didn\u2019t even bother to call to cancel, and as I\u2019ve said before, if a band cancels there is always someone waiting in the wings to take their place.  <\/span>Once again, this proved true as a variety of other bands and individuals stepped up to fill in the gaps in the band lineup.  <\/span>Actually this provided a more well-rounded lineup and got the word out about several great local bands that you might want to check out around the community.  <\/span>The crowd always remembers the names of the bands that show up.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/span>         <\/span>Hutchapalooza was a rousing success.  <\/span>The crowds were out in force, the Salvation Army and the Hutchinson Zoo were blessed by your donations, and fun was had by all who attended.  <\/span>Next week Concert For The Cause will feature Julie Sutton, John Rowdy, Lacey Cruse, and Mark Bowling.The concert series is back at the Avenue A stage.  <\/span>The non-profit will be 3rd<\/sup>Thursday and there may even be some of the arts community out and about with tables of wares available for sale.  <\/span>Come check out all the food, music and fun! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
