I lived in Batavia several years ago and moved back to the area last September. My first summer back was one to remember, and has me looking forward to June of 2011 already. We have been very impressed with the entertainment available throughout the summer here in our little community. We spent just about every Friday night in Jackson Square watching the free concerts. If you haven't been, make plans for next year. Rock, Country, Blues, Ethnic....a little bit of everything. Folks in their 80's and 90's, kids in diapers, lawn chairs, strings of lights and music of all varieties! I felt as though I'd been taken back to a simpler time. It truly was a wonderful way to spend a Friday evening. In addition to the Jackson Square concert series, there was the the all-day Ramble Festival, the Summer in The City Event and several others. It seemed tough to drive by a park this summer without seeing something special happening. I'd like to thank the organizers of these events. You've done an outstanding job and this Batavian is greatly appreciative!
