2011 Entertainers  

	Marcia Kester - Performing 12-1:30 p.m. Marcia Kester is back again this year to delight us with her charm and that voice!  Her website says that her voice "tells the whole story", the heat, the honey, and a bit of Delta hardscrabble. A savory vocal texture that falls somewhere between Patsy Cline and Bonnie Raitt and on towards the Shania Twain zone...a taste of country and rock.  We think there's more to her story than her voice...this lady has both spunk and sparkle!
	Homegrown Tomatoes - Performing 2-3:30 p.m. Homegrown Tomatoes is a long-time Skagit Valley favorite!  With more than 10 members in their band, they play a wide variety of cultural and classic dance favorites and some Latin-American music.  Homegrown Tomatoes is a group of long-time friends who are in it for the fun of playing and sharing their music. Bring your dancing shoes!
