If a community can be

defined by how well it comes together when one of their

own needs help, then Fayette County and the town of

Brooks is a wonderful place to live.

Lee Reed, a Fayette County

employee, lost his wife in a hit and run accident in

April. Reed and his wife had five children together. Now,

when times are tough, the town of Brooks is using the

first show in their summer concert series to help Reed

and his family.

On Saturday, July 8, the

Alan Goodman Band will perform. Goodman is a 17 year old

Starr's Mill student who has been thrilling the region

with his piano theatrics and good, old-fashioned rock n'

roll sound for years. Goodman used to play with the band

Southpaw, but has recently formed his own band and gone

his own way. The show, which starts at 8 p.m., will be a

benefit for the Reed family.

The Brooks Summer Concert

Series will be held at Brooks Park and will be like any

show at the Peachtree City Amphitheater or Chastain park.

There are picnic tables and people are ancouraged to

bring food and beverages, decorate to their hearts desire

and sit beneath the stars enjoying good music.
