DELMAR ­ The Amphitheater at
Heron Ponds is holding its first an-
nual Blues and Brews festival this
Saturday, June 29.
The Blues and Brews Festival
kicks off at noon with music from
local blues performers, beer from
local breweries and the best BBQ
around.
The Amphitheater at Heron
Ponds provides a safe and fun envi-
ronment for the entire family to en-
joy, whether it is an outdoor festival,
concert, play, movie and even auto
or equipment auctions.
The amphitheater has already
had successful events, including
hosting Kelly Pickler, Everclear and
Eve 6, all which had huge turnouts,
organizers reported this week.
Performers booked for the up-
coming festival include Deanna Bo-
gart, The Bullbuckers, Little Mama-
Heather Hardy, Rockett 88 with Dr.
Harmonica, Lower Case Blues and
Chris English.
Local breweries will be in atten-
dance serving their top quality beer
at the Brews and Blues festival. The
confirmed brewers include Evo,
Dogfish Head, Tall Tales, Burley
Oak, and 16 Mile. Award-winning
food from local vendors will be pro-
vided. Confirmed vendors include
Slo and Low BBQ and Olde South
BBQ both out of Delaware.
Currently when you drive past
The Amphitheater at Heron Ponds
on Route 54 east of Route 13, you
may be confused to see empty
fields and houses under construc-
tion. For the first few performances,
all equipment will be brought in the
week of the event, including an ele-
vated stage. As the venue progress-
es, permanent structures will be
built, including a berm for elevated
lawn seating.
The Amphitheater at Heron
Ponds is not only about giving peo-
ple a good show. Part of the mission
of the amphitheater is to provide
community support, while offering
family entertainment at reasonable
prices.
At the Women Supporting Wom-
en Walk for Awareness, eight tickets
for the Kelly Pickler show were auc-
tioned by Marshall Auction. The
auction of these tickets raised
$7,500. A check was presented to
Women Supporting Women just
prior to the concert where many vol-
unteers and guests, who are breast
cancer survivors, were in the audi-
ence.
Tickets for the festival will start at
$10 and will be sold at the door.
Children under 10 years old will be
admitted for free. Parking is free.
There will be no coolers, outside
food and drink, pets or beach um-
brellas allowed on premises.
