GCTV Events: 2 Guys Who Like To Talk 2nd Annual LIVE Broadcast from the Grafton Common- June 24th, 2009

On June 24th, 2009, despite threatening skies, GCTV's Rick Schultze and Bill Robidoux, better known as Grafton's 2 Guys Who Like to Talk, brought their unique Public Access talk show to the Grafton viewing audience live from the Grafton Common for the second time in as many years. The full 3 camera shoot was made possible through use of the Charter Communications Access Production Van and Charter Communications Access Team members Joe Peters and Danielle DeLucia. Guests for the evening's show included Joe Dahlquist, comedian, Michael Urban form the Grafton Farmer's Market, Paul Scarlett who spoke about the renovations at 1 Grafton Common, State Rep. George Peterson, Chris Caron from GCTV's Drive In Theater and The Rock n' Metal Show, and Jennifer Lord Paluzzi from GraftonTimes.com and the Greater Grafton Blog. Despite a lingering mist, a small audience gathered around the bandstand to take in the annual event, and guests and audience members were treated to several trivia quizzes with multiple prize giveaways. All in all it was a very successful production, which we at GCTV look forward to repeating next year! Here are some pictures from the event...
