I have had a few people ask me exactly what Florence after Five is. Florence after Five is held the last Friday of the month downtown (behind Harrington Vision Center and across from Central United Methodist Church). There are food vendors, a local band, and tons of Florentines enjoying the community and fellowship of one another.
Every time I go, I have a great time. It is family friendly and you will see kids delighting in being outside enjoying the music. (Really, could any kid NOT use more outdoor time?) The band this Friday will be the “Rick Strickland Band.” “Rick Strickland won a Songwriter of the Year award at the 2005 Carolina Beach Music Awards for the song Something Smooth which was #1 on the Beach Music charts the entire year of 2005. It was voted the #1 Beach Song of 2005 on a chart compiled by 30 different DJs’ top 100 Songs. It also ranked #8 on the top 50 Rhythm and Blues Dance Songs of 2005.”
The Flossip LOVES LOVES LOVES Beach Music! (I took shag lessons from Linda Vaughan’s Shag Connection thank you very much.) Don’t forget to look for my blue hat!
