20th Annual Tradition
Breezn will perform on Friday, July 26 for the 20th Annual Mission Hills Concerts in the Park.
A couple of months ago, I spoke about my Dad and Mom, who have both passed away. People who know me and my family understand how important traditions and legacy were to my parents. We used to help organize and volunteer for the annual bazaar of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Denver, Colorado. All funds raised went to support various programs of the church.
I remember my Mom baking lots of pies and cakes to be sold at the bazaar. My Dad, sisters and I would work the various rides and booths during the three day event. It was quite an undertaking. My parents taught us to get involved and give back to the community. This was just of the many programs and services we volunteered for each year.
That legacy of giving back to community continues as we begin the 20th Annual Mission Hills Concerts in the Park. As a board member of the Mission Hills Foundation, I am glad to say that the concerts continue in July, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 12, July 19 and July 26 at Mission Hills/Pioneer Park, located at 1425 Washington Place (next to Grant Elementary).
I want to remind everyone who attends the concerts that they don’t just happen. It requires financial support and coordination by individuals and various organizations.
There are permits, insurance, staging, sound and technicians, bands and power issues that have to be coordinated, as well as promotion and publicity.
This year, we’re glad to welcome a new sponsor to our contributors, Anderson Plumbing Heating & Air, who will have a presence at the July 19 concert. Here’s the schedule for the month of July.
July 12 Ballad Mongers
July 19 Y3K
July 26 Breezn
The concerts are produced by the Mission Hills Foundation, a 501(c) 3 organization, and the Mission Hills Town Council, a 501 (c) 6 organization. For information on this free event, call (619) 296-8731, or visit www.missionhillsmsfoundation.org.
