Why go anywhere else when all the fun is happening so close to home. Another reason to, ENJOY TROY! See you all there.

SHOW CANCELLED:

Tonight's show at Powers Park has been cancelled. Local Meteorologist may have gotten one right this time --We'll see though, as their batting average this summer season is lower than Russell Martin's!!!!!!  Show will not be rescheduled.

This Isn't Looking Good:

   According to every weatherman & woman, it looks like we're going to get hit with a large rainstorm. Now back on July 28th, I cancelled this same country show, because all the experts (snicker snicker) predicted a torrential thunderstorm to hit our area that day,  between 5 & 8pm  -- so the show was called. Well low & behold at 4:45pm that day, the skies miraculously cleared, and the sun came back out.

   So I'm taking a page from the WHO, and saying, "We Won't Get Fooled Again"! Today, I'm going to wait awhile before making the call. Let's see what develops. As of right now, the Carmine Dio & Roaring Thunder show is happening at 6pm, at historic Powers Park.. Stay tuned for updates.

Uncle Sam Jam Returns:

 

Join us today at Historic Powers Park for the 7th Annual Uncle Sam Jam/ Power in the Park Classic Car Show. Car show begins     at 12, with the music beginning at 2pm. Come enjoy a tribute to  Billy Joel, the Beatles, and the great 80's Hair Bands, with performances by Stormfront, Hey Jude, and Aquanett. Plenty of festival foods, and beverages will be available. 

Price of admission is at least one, non-perishable food item for donation to the Lansingburgh Boys & Girls Club Food Pantry.
