Sunset Concert Series

Last night we went to the first concert of the Sunset Concert Series at Franklin Park. The Coyote Ridge Bluegrass Wranglers performed for two hours to a very appreciative audience.

This concert was the first in a concert series consisting of six different groups performing at Franklin Park on Thursday evenings. The concert begins at 6:30PM and ends around 8:30PM.
The Allied Arts van was at the park during the concert. This van travels to different parks throughout the summer months, offering small craft projects that kids can make and take home. Last night the kids made flowers leis and headbands covered with a variety of paper creations. There were a lot of dogs that enjoyed the concert as well, either playing with other dogs, chasing Frisbees or just sitting with their owners.
Franklin Park is quite large and has a variety of activities available. This park sits right next to the Yakima Valley Museum, which offers historical displays focusing on the Yakima Valley - its natural history, Native American culture and early pioneer life. The Museum Soda Fountain, a working exhibit of a late 1930's soda fountain, was very busy last night selling Tillamook ice cream to people enjoying the concert.
