Is it the heat? No. Is it the kids home from school? No. Is it the big road trip back East? No. How do you know it’s REALLY summer? For us, it’s the beginning of the free Sellwood Park Concert Series. We’ve been sponsors of this wonderful neighborhood event for many years, and we look forward all year to inviting you to participate. Did we mention it’s FREE? Imagine spending an evening (well after the heat has died down) lounging in a grassy paradise. Your picnic basket is open, your kids are running around, and you’re listening to some of the best live music around. Will you dance? Up to you. The whole evening is about your total enjoyment! Here are dates and bands for this year’s shows…
