BOOT SCOOTIN BOOGIE - Summer Concert Series in Windham

WINDHAM - Windham Chamber of Commerce hosted the first in its summer series of concerts, last Friday night, drawing a crowd of hundreds to C.D. Lane Park, listening to the country music sounds of Hillbilly Parade. Among those on hand for the festivities were Chamber members (left to right) Elisa Schieren, Jon Licurse, president Lisa Jaeger, Evan Schieren, events coordinator Stephanie Briggs, Stephen Bendernagle and the band. “Oh man, we are still in the afterglow,” Jaeger said, in a phone interview three days later. “It went better than we thought and we thank everybody for coming out.” The next concert, the second of four, is slated for July 11, featuring Macrame Mode. There is no charge for admission. Donations are welcome and channeled toward future Chamber events.

Boot Scootin’ Boogie was in full form at C.D.Lane Park, last Friday night, as concertgoers enjoyed country-style line dancing. The popular song Boot Scootin’ Boogie was first released by Asleep at the Wheel, later becoming a Top 50 hit for Brooks and Dunn.

Mountaintop Little League was on hand, serving up hot dogs and hamburgers, helping raise funds to keep the kids playing ball along with their longtime sponsors the Knights of the Road.
