The night of Saturday August 14th was an incredible night filled with music, comedy, silent auction action, and commenced with the naming of our “2010 AIDS Walk For Life” winning theme song.  Titled “I Don’t Dance Alone”, the winning song was passionately written and performed by the one and only Amberstaar Pyper.  All of the theme song entries were solid tunes written by a talented group of singer songwriters.  Beautiful melodies each and everyone, drawing inspiration from a variety of styles.  We had artists representing blues, folk, rocknroll, hiphop, electropop, jazzy, funk, and Baltic Roma brass.

What a crowd!!

 There were sing-a-long songs (Meg Stewart’s “Rainbows All Around Us”), songs that brought tears to our eyes, songs that rocked out (The Black Albino’s), and songs that taught us something.  Amberstaar’s winning song “I Don’t Dance Alone”,  took the night and the contest with the most heart felt and powerful performance from lyric to melody.  With the support of our sponsors Oso Negro Coffee, The Nelson Brewing Company, Eddie Music, Big Cranium Design, The Hume Hotel, plus all the business’s that donated items to our silent auction, and our audience of just under a 100 people, brought our fundraising total to $2700!  Thank-you Nelson for your incredible support.
