Bands draw crowds to Haymarket Heydays

"Everybody feeling good tonight?" Curtis Grubb, vocalist and lead guitarist of Grasshopper Takeover, asked over his microphone in the Historic Haymarket District on Friday night.

The reaction received was a wave of hollers and applause from Haymarket Heydays attendees.

The theme for this year's annual free event was "Movin' and Groovin'" and that was what was seen in the Haymarket next to J. Finnegan's and the Creamery Building this past weekend.

Omaha's Grasshopper Takeover got the crowd moving and grooving around 7 p.m. when its pop rock sounds echoed throughout the Haymarket as the kick-off performance for the two days of events, concerts and street dances.
