Big Day of Giving Stream-a-Thon

As the lights go down, chairs screech and bodies adjust in their seats as the audience waits.

From behind the burgundy curtain, a rumble is felt. The darkness is split by a syncopated rhythm, and the cacophony grows: the beat and beat and beating of tom toms.

The curtain slides open. The thump of bass drums and slap hiss of snares, the audience gasps as the drum line, in a blur, hammers at their skins.

And that is just one act at the May 1 Big Day of Giving Stream-a-thon presented by the Winters Participation Gallery. The two-hour show, 6-8 pm at the Winters Community Center, will include a variety of local acts: fiddlers, a classically trained singer, roving robots, the sis-boom-bah of a brass band, award-winning poetry, and a dog act.

The event will be streamed through the Winters Participation Gallery YouTube page. Whether in person or via the marvel of the World Wide Web, this sensational evening will give the community a chance to meet many Winters nonprofits and support their wonderful work.

The event is free with light appetizers provided by Yolo County Meals on Wheels.
