Hoedown 2008
Lovelane Hoedown III Rides High!!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make Lovelane’s Hoedown III a grand success. On a beautiful and magical night in September, this unique event combined great music, delicious food, 700 friends and supporters and an amazing cause, and raise close to $700,000.
Local classic rock band, French Lick, kicked off the evening and got the crowd movin’ and shakin’ with a guest appearance by Shannon Allen, wife of Boston Celtic player, Ray Allen. The Marshall Tucker Band closed the event with a rockin’ rendition of “Can’t You See,” dedicated to event chairs Kim and Jim Pallotta.
