OGDENSBURG -- The Friday night talent show at Ogdensburg's Mood Fest, sponsored by the Ogdensburg Free Academy Key Club, has been cancelled due to a lack of entrants.

This year’s show will start on July 8, with most of the performances on July 9.

The first day will include a music business seminar with blues-rocker and festival headliner Chaz DePaolo.

“Chaz is an educator as well as a rock n roller,” Duffy said. “Trying to not only do music, but promote it as a career. A lot of people think it’s just a few people sitting around and having fun, which it can be, but it can also be more.”

For the Saturday show, a portion of East River Street will be closed to traffic.

“Gates will open at 11:30 a.m. and music starts around noon until 10 p.m. or whenever they tell us,” Duffy said, chuckling.

The schedule is 11:30 a.m., Key Club Winner, 12:15 p.m. Atom Ghost, 1:15 The Noncommittals, 2:15 Wells and the Gathering, 3:15 Bill Clinger, 4:15 Pat Duffy and Albeit the Truth, 5:15 Winding Road the Band, 6:15 Nic LeDuc, 7:15 Waydown Wailers, 8:15 Chaz Depaolo.

Friday music will be The Band Room Band at 6 p.m.

Food vendors will be Wimpy’s and Big River Grill and Chill.

“It’ll be a block party so we’ll have the street blocked off … we’re trying to get more vendors. We have a lot of space. People can bring a car dealership, boats,” Duffy said. “We have a lot of room … we’re going to improve on the merch area.”

Anyone interested in vending can email moodfest2016@gmail.com.

Admission to the Friday events will be free. Saturday admission will be $10.

Those signing up for the business seminar will pay a fee that covers both the seminar and admission to Saturday’s music.

Tickets are now on sale.

“We’re getting a good response already, people are saying they’re coming,” Duffy said.
