Here are some comments we got on the new 2011 lineup:
“This lineup sounds fantastic!! I am purposely not planning to have any summer activities planned for these evenings just so we can attend!!”
“BRAVO!!!”
“WOW!!! A great lineup indeed!”
“My wife and I have grown kids but we’re coming – great selection.”
“So great -thanks for doing this for Kenmore!”
“This is why I love living in Kenmore!”
“Love the waltzing! My father says he’s coming to waltz with my daughter that night -what a great memory that will be for both of them.”
“These are big names so I’m going to come early because there’s bound to be a crowd. Love all the musicians listed -am telling my friends!”
