*Squier Red & The Blues Band at the Bynum General Store Friday Night

Friday night at the Bynum General Store is the place to be from now until the end of August. Many thanks to *Mipso Trio* for helping us kickstart the Bynum Front Porch Friday Night Music Series last week. This week, *Squier Red & The Blues Band* brings their brand of the blues to the outdoor stage. As always, there will be food vendors on hand to supply a tasty treat and a cool beverage.
Next up. . . *The Zinc Kings* (May 18th) will be bringing their Piedmont blues to Bynum.
The Friday Night Music Series runs from May 4 through the end of August from 7 pm to 9 pm every Friday night. Although tickets aren’t required, we pass the hat and encourage a $5 to $7 donation to compensate the performers. To check out the rest of the amazing bands playing this season, please visit our website at www.bynumfrontporch.org. Also, find Bynum Front Porch on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. And visit our sponsors Auto Pro and Hope Crossing Animal Hospital to thank them for their support!
One more thing. . . from now until June 16th, each Friday night we’ll be selling $5 raffle tickets for a chance to win a Schwinn Aerostar 20″ kid’s bike and a Performance Girls Raven 24″ kid’s bike.
Speaking of June 16th. . . .
Bynum Front Porch is planning a summer fundraising auction with a newly added twist-this time we’re including “estate sale” items. The auction will be Saturday June 16th from 10 am to 1 pm.

We are accepting various items: gift certificates from local businesses, artists’ work, baked goods, vacation vouchers, and any item that has been gently used-from tools to timepieces, furniture to figurines, paintings to pitchforks, cars to chairs. Contact John or Debbie at * *.
