Visitors to Town Square Park Thursday night got to tap their toes, clap their hands an even dance despite storms in the area threatening to cancel it all. Not so much in Oil City, where the storms seemed to skirt around them or were short lived. But south, somewhere out on Route 8 not to far from Grove City, a tree impeded the forward progress of a truck carrying "The Hip-Waders" equipment.
Yep, a tree fell on the truck and luckily there were no injuries.
Well except for the roadies truck.
"Actually it was my truck," Mike Fitzgerald, of the band, said not looking particularly happy as he scrambled to set up equipment.
The band members were already in Oil City waiting for their gear when they got the call from their roadie. So they hopped back on the road heading down the detour-riddled Route 8 to get their gear. All-in-all, despite the misfortune of nature and machinery, the Wexford based band were only about a half hour late getting the tunes rolling in Oil City.
By the time they began kicking it into gear, the Elks dinner, the Flex Bike and Brew pick-up and the Republican rally were winding down and the participants began filtering into the park for the show of classic rock tunes. It might have been the perfect storm for the occasion.
"We're all fishing fanatics," Fitzgerald said of where they got their name.
