Gather up the children and head over to the Old Courthouse Square in downtown Decatur for the last of this month’s Blue Sky Concerts. Douglas Brake and the Sizzle Hiss Pop Band will be performing from noon until 1 pm. Bring the kids on down for an hour of crazy fun music, singing and dancing. Original songs include a celebration of the sound and smell of cooking bacon and the daily challenge of locating small, misplaced shoes!

Join us on the Square for this special children’s concert- but beware, even the adults will find themselves smiling and singing along!

The Decatur Business Association produces the  Blue sky Concert with presenting sponsor SunTrust Bank. This week’s co-sponsors are Lotus of Life, Kaiser Permanente and Little Shop of Stories.

Today was the last Blue Sky Concert for the month of May and I believe every child in Decatur was in attendance! Douglas Brake and the Sizzle Hiss Pop Band entertained with a variety of children songs, and even the adults were dancing. Maybe it was the break in the rain, or the fact that school is almost out, but it was very well attended and FUN!

The Blue Sky Concerts are produced by the Decatur Business Association concert signand sponsored by SunTrust Bank and were co-sponsored this month by Little Shop of Stories and Montessori School at Emory. The concerts are run by a volunteer committee that staffs each concert, books the bands, and get the prizes that are given away at the intermission.

If you missed today’s concert, Douglas will be playing at the Decatur Beach Party on the new “Ponce Fun Pier” from 6 until 9 pm.
