We enjoyed Keith Scott who was a very engaging entertainer. We also enjoyed "Living Soul" (island/Jimmy Buffett genre) who we saw at the band shell on June 12th.
With a light breeze off the lake, a beautiful sunset as a backdrop to the entertainers on stage, a variety of very talented musicians... well, outdoor concerts just don't get any better than these!
