Get on the Blues Bus
On Saturday April 24, the Nature Coast Friends of Blues is hosting a Blues Bus to
Dave’s Aqua Lounge in St. Petersburg to see blues legend, “Guitar Shorty” perform at his
CD release party. Motor coach round trip transportation will pick up Blues Fans at three
locations in Citrus county, stop at The Pier in St Petersburg where there are four dining
choices, and re-board the Blues Bus to Dave’s. $20 pays for the Blues Bus but dinner, the
$10 door at Dave’s and drinks are on your own.
With stops at the Fair Grounds in Inverness, Meadowcrest Winn Dixie in Crystal
River and WalMart in Homosassa, we hope to accommodate fans from all over the county.
It will be a late night, but riding to and from the event in the comfort of a motor coach bus
will make the trip worthwhile.
To get on the Blues Bus, send a check for $20 per person along with your name,
phone number and the location where you wish to board the bus to NCFB, Inc, P. O. Box
1143, Homosassa Springs, FL 34447. Deadline to register is April 19. Please call Susan
Mitchell at 352-503-3498 for more information.
