Heralding the upcoming Fourth of July holiday weekend, a festive hot air ballon recently passed over our dock just outside the back door of the BRC workshop.
The sprawling 62nd annual “Art in the Park” weekend festival hosted by the Columbia Art League this summer was cancelled. Its Veterans Art Pavilion, co-sponsored by the United Veterans Foundation, was presented online as a virtual exhibit. The BRC founder, a USAF veteran, had his “Freedom Eagle” banjo accepted into the show.

BRC banjos have a signature mother of pearl inlay on the heel of the neck for the eyes-only of the musician.
A life long student of military history, the BRC founder has walked battlefields in the US, Europe, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. While tinkering in his workshop, he listens to audiobooks about these engagements and the participants.
From the BRC, we wish you a restful and peaceful holiday weekend.
