Downtown Live-Marcy Playground

Thanks to everyone that came out to last weekends Downtown Live Art and Craft Market. It was a hot one 99 degrees! Fortunately we had a great spot under some trees, a tent to shelter us from the North Carolina summer sun, and a fan to cool us down a little. We had a great time even with the heat!

Downtown Live: Charlie Daniels Band

A little bit of rain won't damper our party. Even with the little sprinkle at the last Downtown Live, we had a ton of fun. Thanks to everyone that came out to see us.

Every other weekend My Truck Leroy is a vendor at the Downtown Live Art & Craft Market. Come by and see us, have a beer, and listen to live music! Admission is free.

This weekend the headliner is Marcy Playground.
