Today’s Topic: Celebrating Downtown…Summer Concerts and Classic Car Show


To say the weather is not cooperating with our summer concert series would be an understatement. The last two Thursdays in a row the City has been forced to cancel its summer concerts due to rain. Hopefully this coming Thursday, June 20 luck day for sunshine and we’ll be able to enjoy the band Yearbook in a fully deckedout Ely Square.  Please mark your calendars and cross your fingers as we hope to join you on the following dates for some wonderful music in the park.  Summer concerts are sponsored by the Elyria Parks and Recreation Department on the following Thursday afternoons from 11:30am – 1:00pm.  Bring your lawn chairs and purchase hotdogs, beverages and snacks from the Elyria Parks and Recreation Hot Dog Cart! 
  •  June 20 – Yearbook
  • June 27 – New Decade
  • July 4 – No concert
  • July 18 – Malt Shoppe Memories
  • July 25 – Ed Klimczak
  • August 1 – Figure 8
  • August 8 – Keith Ransom

Also, please mark your calendars for a Classic Car Show and two concerts coming up on Sunday, July 28. Sponsored by Donna’s Diner, with McGuire’s Auto Parts, The City of Elyria, The Chronicle Telegram and Dove Manufacturing
– the car show will be located around downtown Elyria from noon to 3:00pm.  During the show enjoy fabulous food, prizes and music by Johnny Aces and the Wingmen.  And top off your day with a concert by La Flavour beginning at 6:00pm.  For more information about the Classic Car Show and how to enter, call Donna’s Diner at 322-3221.
