Live Music and Dancing From: 

Alexandra Ensemble ​

"Alexander Ensemble borrows classical middle eastern and north African rhythms and combines these with flamenco and Andalusian cadences creating performances with a driving percussive sound perfect for dancing. Our intention is to create a belly dancing party where ever we perform.
Our instrumentation is largely acoustic and percussive. We include the percussion of Dumbeks, Doholas, Cajons, Riqs, Djembes and Bodhrans. We blend these with guitar, banjo, hand crafted rebab, native American flute, keyboard, shruti box, melodica, Didgeridoo and vocals to produce simple melodies with many layers."

Rebekkah Jackson Fine Art and Frank Jackson 

"I am primarily an oil painter with an emphasis on painting in plein air but my first love was pastels. I believe that my years using pastels made me a much better oil painter. My method consists of recognizing what it is about the scene that makes me want to paint it. This then becomes my focal point."

Spicy Jamz

"Once upon a time, actually August 2014, in a land far far away - just kidding...Fort Collins, CO - a woman - we’ll call her Joanna - bought a case of Palisade Peaches during the annual peach festival. Knowing she had to do something with them before they went bad, she decided to make peach jam! 
The first batch used fresh habanero peppers with the peaches and turned out incredible! Everyone who tried the jam absolutely loved it and Spicy Jamz was born."

From the Heart ​

"I have always loved to look at something and and try to figure out "what more can I do with this?" I hate throwing things away! Up-cycling clothing has given me that outlet to take discarded items and turn them into unique, one of a kind pieces. This process never gets old, I am always challenged to make something new and I absolutely love working with colors, textures and designs. It is so wonderful when someone finds something I've made that uniquely fits their personality or interests." ​
