POPS in The Park...

Sadly this event can no longer go under the "FREE things to do" category but it is still a must!  Go out and help support our local symphony especially since we are so fortunate to not only have one but to have a symphony conducted by Christopher Warren-Green.  I was lucky enough to enjoy a cook-out at the Warren-Green's house this past weekend and they could not be more down-to-earth and wonderful people.  That is worth noting considering they are friends of the royals and he just conducted the music for that little William and Kate affair!


Just remember to get out there early and mark your spot...the grass is covered in blankets by early afternoon!
