\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It was a party in the park this past Saturday night.\u00a0 <\/span>If you missed it, you missed a lot.\u00a0 <\/span>The concert started a half hour early, at 7:00 p.m. when cKenzi, local Hutch native and past contestant on America\u2019s Got Talent, showed up unexpectedly to open the show.\u00a0 <\/span>She sang the song she wrote that got her on to the show and it showcased her talent perfectly.\u00a0 <\/span>In between songs she told the crowd about how her life had changed since she had been on America\u2019s Got Talent.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Then it was time for Sean Story to take the stage.\u00a0 <\/span>The crowd had gradually grown by this time to double the size of last week\u2019s crowd.\u00a0 <\/span>Sean sang a lot of songs that the crowd already knew and about half way through his set, Morgan Wilk showed up to sing a couple of duets with him.\u00a0 <\/span>The crowd was familiar with the duets this duo sang and seemed to enjoy this surprise in the lineup.\u00a0 <\/span>Sean\u2019s music drew the crowd in and pulled everyone in together as a group.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Meanwhile, the smell of hamburgers and hotdogs permeated the air, small groups broke off here and there to talk, people saw friends and family as they wandered about enjoying the show.\u00a0 <\/span>Mel Hambleton showed up with free ice cream, again, this week.\u00a0 <\/span>The 4H Club was the non-profit featured for Saturday and they made over $130 through food and drink sales, as well as donations just because folks appreciated their organization.\u00a0 <\/span>Concert For The Cause t-shirts were on sale for the first time.\u00a0 <\/span>At one point, Marcie Penner, author and Kansas explorer, showed up driving her ERV (Explorer Research Voyage<\/span>) vehicle.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Then it was time for Alex Cartwright to take the stage.\u00a0 <\/span>She brought a member of her new band with her, a violin player who was amazing.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Alex does a great job singing and playing her guitar, but the violin added another dimension to her show.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>I cannot wait to see her in concert with her full band.\u00a0 <\/span>Alex had a lot of new material and it did not disappoint.\u00a0 <\/span>I especially enjoyed the lullaby that she wrote for her then boyfriend who is now her husband.\u00a0 <\/span>It had the soft sounds of a lullaby with the twist of a love song.\u00a0 <\/span>By now, the crowd in the park had tripled.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>If you miss a week, you miss a lot.\u00a0 <\/span>Join the party in the park next week when Concert For The Cause returns with Soapbox Trubadores and Ryan Coon who will be playing their makeup concert.\u00a0 <\/span>The featured non-profit will be The Salvation Army.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
