36 | THE COLONY NEWS | JULY 2024 | DID YOU MISS IT? By Valorie Hillerich Do you like good music, that sweet soul music? Well then, Stone Soul is for YOU! What an incredible night of Classic Soul and Motown hits! Decked out in their snazzy suits, this eight-piece, horn-blowing, energetic band put on quite a show. Everyone I talked to — and I talk to a lot of people — said this was THE BEST CONCERT EVER at The Colony! We danced, we sang, we did the "Love Train," we "Got up offa that thing," — they made us want to "SHOUT!" They blew us away… "But It's Alright," Stone Soul! Come back soon so we can be "Dancing in the Street!" By Valorie Hillerich It was a perfect day for our Memorial Day extravaganza! Volunteers headed up by Ramona Sanchez, Sharon Carlson, Keri Baldridge, and Dick Castle decorated the venue with festive decor. Ron Brown set the stage for a vibrant event by performing God Bless America. Residents, dressed in their finest red, white, and blue attire, gathered to honor and remember our heroes. A delicious spread of brats and hot dogs was served fresh off the grill, and the Classic Buzz band performed hits from the '70s and '80s, keeping the atmosphere lively. We came together to commemorate the sacrifices made for our freedom while relishing good food, great company, and live music — another example of what makes living in The Colony magical.
