“This is one of my favorite events!” said Treasurer Sharry Budd of the outdoor concerts. “I remember picking up dinner and heading to the park with my husband. I’m so glad we’ve continued the tradition for our residents.”
Recreation Director Jennifer Zaenglein added, “I just love seeing all generations come together to enjoy the music. This year we have some really amazing bands that will make you want to get up and groove.”
Guests are advised to bring their own chairs, a picnic lunch, and the whole family. Those arriving early can splash in the splash pad and play on the ADA playground at Quirk Park.
