The site of a 1947 event that witnesses say marked the crash landing of a UFO is now a host to an annual Jazz Festival significant ‘note.’
Artists included saxophonists Houston Person and Harry Allen; trombonists John Allred and Dan Barrett; pianists Larry Fuller and Johnny Varro; percussionists Ricky Malichi and Chuck Redd; trumpeter Randy Sandke; vocalist Rebecca Kilgore; and a host of regional talent.
A salute to the Board, the tireless volunteers, and the hundreds of fans for supporting this “out-of-this-world” event!
