PHELPS HELPS 2008 -- A SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

After seven successful years the Phelps Grove Neighborhood Association and the Springfield Art Museum we are doing things a little different this year with the  PHELPS HELPS - Summer Concert Series.

We are taking more of a laid back summer attitude this year and working with the limitations this year.

Due to the construction at the Springfield Art Museum this year we do not have an alternative sight for rainy weather.  Given the extensive rainy weather this year, this has greatly restricted the number of bands wanting to risk a rain soaked evening.  (one of the few bands interested was a guy named "Noah and his traveling Arc."  We didn't book him; he had too many party animals for such a small sight!)

However, we do have the several of the Springfield Symphony ensemble groups performing on Thursday Evening, June 19th.  This should be an excellent way to lead into a nice restful weekend!  (Sunny weather is predicted -- really!!!)

Stay tuned for more concerts that may be added during the summer.

This charity concert series is intended to entertain our neighbors, and show how much we care about the community in which we live.  Raffles will take place at all of our concerts to help open pocket books to give to well deserved charities.  While the music is free -- we hope you will contribute to the charity (chosen by our performers) and make this an event that will benefit our entire community.

We hope you join our annual Phelps Helps 2008 Summer Concert Series.
