Have you ever wondered what “Sessions By The Lake” is? If you have, you could have found out the answer by attending the first of three “Free” evening concerts that are being held at the shelter next to Wagner Lake. The eventing started off with a “Bean Bag Tournament” with those involved chasing a $50 first prize for the first place team. In addition great food was provided by Beefy’sTacos” and the featured musical act for the evening was Uncle Roy and The Boys playing some great old time rock-n-roll and country hits. The music was great and a better evening could not have been possible with a nice breeze coming off of the lake. The free evening concerts are being held on three consecutive Thursday nights starting at 6:30. The event is held near the playground equipment so parents can easily enjoy the event and also be able to keep an eye on there children as well. The weekly concerts are hosted by the 605 Unity Team and provided by the same sponsors who made the 605 Unity Jam possible this past June. The sponsors involved with the 605 Unity Jam were not aware that they also got the opportunity to be the sponsors of the additional concerts as well. We are fortunate to have such outstanding sponsors involved with the Unity Team. Whether or not you attended the evening concert or not, please take a moment to check out the Wagner Announcer for concert details and the listing of our sponsors. Also take some time this week to stop in and thank them for caring so much about our community. Without this support, these kinds of events cannot be held. If you have ever commented “there is nothing to do in a small town” then you are advised to begin reading the paper, looking at the Announcer or reading the posters around town or asking questions so you do not miss any more of these special nights before they are gone.
