ChickenJam favorites Mike & Sean perform as an acoustic duo in Lee, NH
Gotta love these guys! Michael Tero and Sean Yadisernia are core musicians of the band Northern Roots.
It was awful close to raining on this event: The First Annual Little River Fest, but didn't. There is a retired gravel pit in Lee, NH which is on its way to becoming recreational fields for the community. The festival is a celebration of this effort. As you see in the video, there is still work to do.
In addition to them they had music from Dave Gerard of Truffle and Kristan Bishop & Cathy O'Brien of Bliss.
Anyhow, enjoy the vid.

This year marks our fourth year of having a corn maze! Each spring we plant a very large corn
field. When the corn grows to about knee high, it is transformed into a corn maze. Our maze is
professionally designed and cut. We give the company our idea of what we would like for a corn
maze design, and they translate that into our corn field to produce a maze!
This year for 2008 our design for the corn maze is "Dragonflies"!
In October, please join us for the most exciting and unique haunted attraction in New England!
Voted one of America's best haunts, Haunted Overload at Coppal House Farm is the Ultimate
Halloween Experience! Please check our website often for dates and ticketing information.
Coppal House Farm & Corn Maze is a great way to spend the day! We can accommodate large or
small groups, and are available for private events. It is the ideal place for school field trips,

Big Chicken, the band, deserves more recognition
this is all that wikipedia offers:
Big Chicken
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| The Big Chicken | |

| Building Information | |
|---|---|
| Name | The Big Chicken |
| Location | Marietta, Georgia |
| Country | United States |
| Architect | Hubert Puckett |
| Client | Tubby Davis |
| Completion Date | 1963 (The Big Chicken structure) |
The Big Chicken is a KFC restaurant in Marietta, Georgia, which features a large steel-sided structure designed in the appearance of a chicken rising up from the top of the building. It is located at the city's biggest intersection of Cobb Parkway (US 41) and Roswell Road (S. R. 120) and is a well-known landmark in the area. The exact address is 12 Cobb Pkwy N, Marietta GA 30062.

[edit] History
In 1963, Johnny Reb's Chick, Chuck and Shake owner S.R. "Tubby" Davis erected the 56-foot (17-meter) tall structure over his restaurant as a method of advertising. It was designed by Hubert Puckett, a Georgia Tech student of architecture, and fabricated by Atlantic Steel in nearby Atlanta (of which Marietta is a suburb). Davis later sold it to his brother, and it became a franchise of KFC.
In January 1993, storm winds damaged the structure, and rather than tear it down KFC was forced by public outcry to re-erect the building. Among those who complained about the Big Chicken being torn down were pilots, who actually used the building as a reference point when approaching Atlanta and Dobbins Air Reserve Base.[1] The new Big Chicken even includes the original design of beak and eyes which move, although this time the vibrations which plagued the first structure (even to the point of breaking windows) have been eliminated.
It has also led to a small cottage industry of sorts, selling souvenirs emblazoned with the monument, including one sweatshirt showing Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, and of course, the Big Chicken in Marietta. The Big Chicken is commonly used as a landmark for directions. Locals will often include "At the Big Chicken, make a ..."
