The sweet sounds of summer

Many of our communities have summer concerts series. We’ve seen some wonderfully talented local musicians at Temple Ambler, in Royersford, Spring City, Lower Gwynedd, Montgomeryville, Ardmore and countless other communities.

Add Doylestown to that list. Last Sunday evening we went to the Doylestown Community Sounds of Summer 2010 for the township’s Fourth of July celebration kickoff concert and fireworks display at Central Park.
The featured band was the Philly Horn Band, which put on a great show. There was a pretty big crowd, all seemingly relaxed and having a good time listening to music and awaiting the fireworks.
The thing that strikes me about these events — in Doylestown as well as the others — is the sense of community I feel when we attend. They are intended to be family friendly events and they achieve that purpose. It’s a nice respite from all the ugliness in the world.
