Christine Havrilla and Gypsy Fuzz kicked off the summer series of concerts at Kennett Square's Anson B. Nixon Park on July 1. It was wonderful to be out there in the park again, listening to music and watching the sun set over the lake. (The series was supposed to start with Dukes of Destiny on June 24, but it had to be canceled because of the power outage.)
There was a big but not overwhelming crowd, and we saw many "regulars" who came to every concert last summer, like we did. Dennis Melton did the emcee honors.
One unexpected treat at this show was an impromptu performance of hula-hooping in front of the stage. Apparently hula-hoops are not only for little kids anymore: one lithe woman showed off some seriously amazing and gravity-defying moves, managing to spin two hoops up and down her body and from one shoulder to the other with barely perceptible movements. I was in awe. And yes, alright, I am envious.
The free concerts will continue every Wednesday at 7 p.m. through August 12. There's food for sale by a different vendor each week, or you can bring your own. A fellow from La Michoacana brought along a pushcart full of their popsicles for $2 each (the Butter Pecan was delicious). Leashed dogs are welcome at the concerts; we saw everything from a mastiff to a chihuahua.
