Warning!\u00a0 This week\u2019s concert in Fountain Park on Friday night might produce Beatles.\u00a0 It could also produce Byrds, Hollies, Rolling Stones, Doors, Vogues, Monkees, Raiders and even some Mamas & Papas.\u00a0 Now, even to me this sounds a little scary if not just plain intriguing.\u00a0 You have to admit, the names of bands back in the 1960\u2019s were certainly interesting.<\/p>\n
Aftermath: Experience the Sixties is a band that recreates that great music from the 1960s.\u00a0They will be in concert in Fountain Park this Friday night starting at our regular time of 7 p.m.\u00a0 Some of the quotes from past audience members are: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe my ears; it was just like being there!\u201d\u00a0\u201cThey had me dancing all night long!\u201d\u00a0\u201cI had to smile when I saw them all decked out in their costumes and playing the music that I remember so well!\u201d and \u201cI may be too young to remember the \u201860s, but I still have fun when Aftermath plays!\u201d<\/p>\n
I have said it many times, but the true test of good music is its longevity among listeners.\u00a0 Although some song titles of the Sixties were strange, they are still played and people still want to hear them today.\u00a0 Songs like \u201cWooly Booly\u201d, \u201cLight My Fire\u201d, \u201cHard Day\u2019s Night\u201d, and \u201cDaydream Believer\u201d are simple, if not strange titles, but songs that have stuck with us throughout the past 50 years.\u00a0Aftermath will bring these and many others back for an evening of reminiscing and enjoyment.<\/p>\n
Bring your friends and enjoy another beautiful evening in Fountain Park in downtown Van Wert.\u00a0 The price is right; the times are fun and the music memorable. Members of the First United Methodist Church Senior Choir will be cooking up some delicious food for you to enjoy, too!\u00a0 Believe me, I know first-hand what good food comes from these people.<\/p>\n
We are starting to wind down our summer, believe it or not!\u00a0 After this week, we have just two more concerts in the park on Friday nights.\u00a0July 27 brings some of the best Bluegrass to us when Rhonda Vincent and the Rage come up from Nashville in a return appearance.\u00a0After a week off, we finish on August 10 with Brass Transit and the music of Chicago.<\/p>\n
Some people have been asking, and I just got confirmation that we will once again be showing a movie outside in the park on the big inflatable screen following Brass Transit\u2019s concert.\u00a0 Last year, many enjoyed watching The Wizard of Oz<\/em> on the big screen.\u00a0 This year\u2019s feature will be Toy Story 3<\/em> — in my opinion, the best of all the \u201cToy Story\u201d movies.\u00a0 What a great family flick!\u00a0 It should be spectacular in the park with the big screen and magnificent sound system.\u00a0We will also preview the upcoming NPAC season.<\/p>\n Many have taken the opportunity to purchase a Select Series for the upcoming season at the Niswonger PAC.\u00a0 I encourage you to take a look at the upcoming season and take advantage of a savings by buying three or more concerts now and reserving your seats.\u00a0There are 26 concerts, shows, and speaker events in the upcoming season.\u00a0Check out the amazing array of talent and entertainment coming to the NPAC.<\/p>\n
