Final Music in the Park
At least for this year! The final and best attended Music in the Park event in Clinton was held on Saturday, Aug. 31.
Barney Bentall and his band played to an appreciative crowd in Reg Conn Centennial Park. As Mother Nature dimmed the house lights all eyes were on the lighted stage in the bandshell as tune after tune kept toes tapping.
The beer garden was an enjoyable addition to this final musical event and the Clinton Literacy group kept the hot dogs and coffee coming in the concession. As well Dora Billy was kept busy making her famous bannock.
What a great finish to the Music in the Park events for the 150/50 celebrations! If the enthusiasm for these events is anything to go by I wouldn’t be surprised to see more in years to come.
Special thanks to David Arlen Park for doing all the legwork to put on these events, everything from booking the musicians, renting, setting up and manning the sound equipment and lighting to performing to open the events. A job well done!
