POTSDAM â Despite the drizzle, the presence of craft and food vendors, as well as live music, brightened day one of Potsdamâs annual Summer Festival.
From noon to 1:30 p.m., Warren A. Harman â the one-man band known as Big Papaâs Porch Party â attracted early festival-goers with a mix of Americana and coastal country music. He said he wanted to keep people positive and uplifted after a year marred by COVID-19, and encouraged people to continue supporting live and local music throughout the weekend.
Lyle N. Furnace, owner of Happy Daze, who was enjoying the music from outside his shop, said he hopes everybody has fun now that the pandemic has begun to wane.
