Last Friday, members of the local media were invited to lend a hand at the Second Harvest Community Food Bank, in an event called “Behind the Boxes.”  John P Tretbar took part, handing out cantaloupes, watermelons, pumpkins and pineapples to many of the 176 clients at the food bank.  Officials tell us that they also offer food to hungry families on Tuesdays, when they typically serve about 215 families each week.  You can donate to Second Harvest via their web site, here.

Over the weekend, a dozen bluegrass bands performed at Coleman Hawkins Park to raise money and food for Second Harvest.  In this video, the Willow Creek Bluegrass Band perform “Frog Went ‘a Courtin’,” the Scottish nursery rhyme performed by Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bender (on “Futurama”) and Bobby Hill (on “King of the Hill”).
