Enjoy a Concert in the Park

The concert series in War Memorial Park will continue tonight at 7 pm with Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band.  Described by Bluegrass Unlimited, as "mainstream bluegrass at its best," Stoney Creek features guitarist Ed Barney, banjo player Darrell Sanders, Brett Smeltzer on mandolin, and bassist Libby Files.  The band has shared the stage with artists such as Loretta Lynn, Ronnie Reno, and IBMA favorites Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper.  Stoney Creek's new album, Live in Concert, premiered this past Tuesday on WAMU's Bluegrass Country with Country Music DJ Hall of Famer Tom "Cat" Reeder.  

 

Next week on August 4, enjoy the United States Army Field Band "Volunteers" playing pop, country and light jazz.  The Concert in the Park series is hosted by Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks & Recreation and sponsored by United Commercial Travelers of America and Chick-Fil-A in Martinsburg.  For more info, visit www.mbcparks-rec.org.

Support Huntington, WV

We're excited for our friends in Huntington and Cabell County!  They are a finalist in the PetSafe "Bark for Your Park" Contest and could win $100,000 to build/improve their local dog park.  Help Huntington out by voting via one of the following methods between now and August 3:

 

 

"We want to show America that Huntington IS NOT the unhealthy, unhappy metropolitan area that some have portrayed us as being. We want to show them that we are an awesome community in an awesome state with much to offer. Thank you very much for any support you can offer!!"
