A Peck on the Cheek

On Friday August 18th at 7:00 pm The Riverton Branch Library is showing "A Peck on the Cheek" winner of 6 National Film Awards.

Shyama and Dileepan are newly-weds, but when the civil war fighting in Sri Lanka takes a turn for the worse, Shyama is forced to leave as a refugee without her husband, who is reported as having been shot by rebels. Shyama has just discovered she is pregnant and in the refugee camp she gives birth to a baby girl. Nine years later in India, Amudha is told the truth of her origins by her adoptive parents Indra and Thiru. The young girl of course wants to know her real mother and finds a way of returning to the still war-torn island of Sri Lanka.

Nowoodstock 2006

I just spent Sunday August 13th at the Nowoodstock Festival in Tensleep Wyoming. We sat and listened to a mixture of bluegrass, gospel, jazz, and silly music. Two of the performers live here in Wyoming. Jalan Crossland lives in Tensleep he writes and performs his own music. Jeff Troxel lives in Dubois. He is the national flat picking winner. A group from Denver called, "Hell in a handbasket" performed gospel, jazz, and a little bluegrass. These were only three of the many groups and single perfomers who spent three days entertaining people in the beautiful city of Tensleep. There were merchants selling their crafts and food venders from the local restaurants. It was a great time. So mark your calendars for August 10, 11, and 12 2007 and plan to attend the seventh annual Nowoodstock Festival.
