But after much thought and discussion, we all realized that the better idea was to pair the Park-sponsored concert\u00a0with a community event &#8212; the traditional ham and bean supper, which is typically held in a French Church Hall. This year, the supper was served\u00a0in the Immaculate Conception School Hall. When we arrived around 4:45 p.m., the hall was full of people, many of whom had grown up in Lowell and the surrounding communities. Although there were some children about, the\u00a0average age was about 75. French was being spoken and\u00a0the aroma was heavenly.\u00a0Home baked hams and plenty of Cote&#8217;s beans, both the light and the dark, were\u00a0being served.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1298\" title=\"Carving ham to serve \" src=\"https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/francoevent_servingham.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1299\" title=\"Serving Cote's beans\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/francoevent_servingbeans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>People socialized and ate from 4:30 to 6:30.

Indeed, when we asked\u00a0the 135 audience members\u00a0how\u00a0many\u00a0had relatives who had worked in the Lowell textile mills, about half of the hands went up.<\/p>\n<p>Seated at one of the many tables was Lowellian Raymond Breault, who throughout the evening played his wooden spoons and clogged his tap-soled shoes in time to the music. On more than one occasion, he made his way to the front of the hall to demonstrate his rhythmic feet. This delighted the musicians. As Donna remarked from the stage, &#8220;There is no better compliment to a fiddler than to have someone who is moved to\u00a0 get up and dance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1304\" title=\"Raymond Breault clogging\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/francoevent_raymond1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Sometimes, a concert&#8217;s setting can make all the difference.
