Re-Opening Fundraiser Held at Mary's Market Tuesday, May 6, 2008
Mary's Market re-opened Tuesday night, with lots of live entertainment, friends, and donations. Mary's was broken into the Friday night before the fire started (4/25/08), and had been closed ever since. According to Henore Letourneau, he had been rushing to the vet's, and didn't get the cash drawer emptied, so the thieves got a lot more than they ordinarily would have. The loss was nearly enough to spell the end, but with a lot of encouragement from the residents of the canyon and other friends of Mary's, last night was the grand re-opening fundraiser, and a group of musicians including Jody and the Minions, Roadhouse Ron, Steven Radice and Jean, Faithanne and Friends, Joe and Maggie, and others performed throughout the evening. Things went so well, they ran out of food. Due to a prior engagement, I got there a little late, so I missed much of the crowd and all of the food, but those who were still there were having a ball. All tips for the musicians got turned back over to Mary's, and a great big jar was filled to the brim with donations (attention burglars, the jar was removed last night). If you haven't been to Mary's lately, now would be a good time to stop by. It was a good night, but it takes a steady string of good nights for a place like Mary's to keep open. It's a tradition in Sierra Madre, stop by and help keep it alive...
