Cindystock was an amazing experience for 2 days last week. So very grateful for the many who came and especially to those who hung in until the very end Saturday night through the storms to celebrate survivors with our annual candlelight ceremony.
Friday opened with pizza from Pomodoro Pizzeria & Ristorante, wine donated by At Home Senior Services and seltzers from Woodstock Goods. The Sweet Judys/a tribute to Crosby, Stills, and Nash played a fantastic set and then we enjoyed desserts from both Billy-Jo Marshall, and Olivia from SaxOn Food Ink. Then Henry Diltz Photography did a great job with a special slide show created just for Cindystock. Henry is a national treasure and we are so grateful for his years of support.
Saturday we had a lovely sunny start with Rudy (Bob Rudolf), hot dogs on the grill by Chef Don, then Lisa Sanders. Her set was interrupted by big storms, but we tried very hard to pivot to keep folks safe. Huddled in cars, under tents and in the garage, we pulled out the Woodstock mentality and the show went on. The fantastic team of Chef Don, Chef Denise and Chef Nick of SaxOn Food Ink all came together with plates of delicious food ready to pick up. Crystal Bowersox then played her set in the garage which made her even nearer and dearer to our cause. Lisa Sanders and Brown Sugar got to finish some of their set too and the heartfelt effort was evident. The die hards then returned to their chairs and Bill Toms & Hard Rain finished out the night with a rocking set. We still were able to celebrate cancer survivors with out annual candlelight ceremony to There's a Place in the World for a Gambler. All the musicians and Maura joined in this moving tradition.
I can't say enough about the resilience of the whole crew who took on every obstacle and made the event go on. It is one for the books for sure. We could not have done this all without the help of our Cindystock Angel Volunteers.
