10am – 11am Demi Mays

Demi Mays is a professional Children’s Music Performer based out of Cincinnati Ohio. Demi has been performing children’s music concerts at schools, libraries, festivals, birthday parties, expos, conferences and more since 2013. The concerts include singing, dancing, call and response music, a bit of yoga, and a lot of hula hooping! While giving a positive learning experience to the kids, Demi delivers an animated performance that inspires, educates, and entertains all ages.

12pm – 1:30pm Them Lasses

Them Lasses is a group of pickin’, singin’ and songwritin’ women spreading joy through sunflowers and harmonies. Since forming in July 2022, Them Lasses quickly captured the hearts of the community with their wholesome sunshiny presence and sound. From lighthearted and silly to soulful and reflective, they are heavily influenced by the land and traditional music of their home state of Kentucky, as well as musical legends like John Prine, Elizabeth Cotten, and the Carter Family. Them Lasses are sure to touch your heart, get your feet stomping, and ignite your love for life’s simple joys: happy flowers, good chickens, creeks, and homegrown tomatoes.
