Applefest held a successful fundraiser, Thursday, June 13 at the Slice, raising $1,510 through a silent auction and donations to buy  a variety of items  needed for a community apple press.

They exceeded their goal of $1,374.Jolene Draper and the Inquisitive Few playing an applefest fundraiser last week. Photo by Richard Amery
 I caught the first couple bands playing before the open mic.

 They began with a stirring and long version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which featured pretty vocal harmonies.

 Jolene Draper and the Inquisitive Few, with  special guest Gabe Thaine on drums,  played their usual solid, heartfelt yet abbreviated set of heartfelt pop and rock music including their cover of Portishead’s “Glory Box.” Wednesday.
