I finally made it to one of the concerts at Bowers Harbor Park on Friday night. All the musicians are fantastic, but I hit the jackpot because pianist Jeff Haas and mandolin player Don Julin showed up with their “Big Fun Band.”
And it really was a blast. There were probably a couple of hundred people there of all ages, and the music, of course, was amazing.

Plus, I scored a major photo coup with Marty and Anita Klein’s adorable dog Sophie for our 2020 Dogs of Old Mission Peninsula calendar. Stay tuned for that over at our sister site, OMPstore.com.
I wrote about the Bowers Harbor Concert Series here, including what it’s all about, and there’s one more coming up next Friday, featuring Tracy Bonham.
As a side note, look for a story in Old Mission Gazette this week about the infamous “Bowers Harbor Fracas” that took place in the 1970s. The cops showed up. People went to jail. Turmoil ensued.
Thankfully, that didn’t happen on Friday.
SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
