It was a muggy, sweltering day for the 10th Annual Harley Davidson dealership street fest to benefit the Children`s Hospital, and “TJ” the hospital mascot was on-site at the biker shop (click to enlarge). 
Regular yearly performers for the last decade, the BRC founder`s band entertained the attendees while Miss Teen contest winners from local county fairs donned their tiaras to greet and mingle with the kids and families. 
Under a blazing July sun, temperatures climbed to almost triple digits in the afternoon, but Gainor & Friends finished their gig by mid day in the shade of a vintage fire truck festooned with Mizzou Tigers flags from the nearby University campus.
It was a fun time with much audience response from the festival goers. Two days later, fog and thunderstorms swept over Missouri with temperatures falling into the low 50`s. Mark Twain reportedly mused, “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”
P.S. Check-out the BRC “Peace Dove” banjo on eBay July 20-27 (sold). Upon receipt of the banjo, the buyer e-mailed, “Wow!!!!!…So happy!”
