KENNETT: Free summer concerts

The first concert in the summer series at Anson B. Nixon Park was so enjoyable! The band, Western Centuries, was very good, the rain held off until later in the evening, the park has never looked better -- plus we always enjoy watching the dogs, the kids and the amazing lady spinning her hula hoops.
At intermission Bette McConnell of Unionville came over to say hi and told us that she and her husband decided to celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary by having dinner at Hartefeld and then coming to the concert. She said, with justified pride, that even though her husband broke his hip last year, he was still able to compete in this year's Kennett Run.
The concert on June 26 is by All Good People, a Yes tribute band, and all of us who were teens in the 1970s are looking forward to that one! I have been telling everyone who will listen that I actually saw Yes at the now-razed JFK Stadium in Philadelphia in the summer of 1976, on a double bill with Peter Frampton.
The Wednesday evening concerts are free and start at 7 p.m. You can bring a picnic or buy supper at the park.
