Record attendance of 3,000 people at Waddington Summer Concert Series

To the Editor:

The Waddington Summer Concert Series again ended a very successful year. We offered nine concerts with a wide range of musical genres.

Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers, musicians, for a super season! Thank you to the audience for your support and donations. They are both greatly appreciated. The weather gave us a little challenge but everyone rose to the challenge and the shows went on with record attendance of just under 3,000!

This year again the concert series was fully funded by individuals and businesses that sponsored or co-sponsored a show, donated money as patrons or gave goods or services. Without these sponsors, we could not enjoy this entertainment on our waterfront or Main Street.

We would like to thank the following businesses and individuals who donated money to Sponsor or Co-Sponsor a show: Artworks Creperie, Community Bank, Dan Rose Memorial Golf Tournament, Iroquois Gas, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Jones, KT Power, Inc, MX Fuels, North Country Savings Bank, Phillips Memorial Home, St Lawrence Recreation, SeaComm Federal Credit Union, Village of Waddington, Waddington True Value & Building Supply, Walmart of Massena, and Dr. and Mrs. David Zysik. We also would like to thank all who come to our concerts and give so generously to our basket collection.

We also thank the following businesses and individuals for donating goods and services: Dawna Miller, Kunoco IGA, Pepsi Cola of Ogdensburg Bottlers, James and Michael Thew, The Riverview of Waddington Motel, Town of Waddington and Mark Scott.

The other people who also made the concerts possible are the volunteers that helped me each week at the concerts and behind the scenes. They are John and Arlene Tenbush, Lyle Lakins, my husband Dana, the Village Crew, and Carol Burns and Keri O’Bryan at the town offices for helping behind the scenes.

Watch as our pavilion is being built at Island View Park...the waterfront should all be finished in time for our concerts to start in 2017!
