I've done numerous shows with them over the years, and they never fail to please. The weekly series is managed, and put together by the Troy Downtown Business Improvement District, with Executive Director Elizabeth Young, and her staff doing an outstanding job in developing the series into a must see, destination event. So join us tomorrow for the kick off to another great season of Rockin on the River.
