Blues Brothers Come To Wellington

This weekend was the annual Peanut Festival here in Wellington. As with most festivals there was a parade, food booths, music, & entertainment. It provides an opportunity for service organizations to do a little fund raising too. The Methodist Church evangelism group decided to use this as an opportunity to promote our new fall programs. They spared no expense to bring in some first rate celebrity characters to help promote.

Because Jake & Elwood Blues were "on a mission from God", it was fitting to use them for this event. It was a lot of fun!




Yes, the sound track from the Blues Brothers movie played on the sound system strapped to the top of the car.





As we walked in the parade we handed out cards with information about the new fall events and programs along with an invitation to attend.











We even found a babysitting job.
