The first in the series of Concerts in the Park~

These are alot of fun to plan on after church... bring a picnic lunch and some lawn chairs and spend the afternoon with your friends. The Town of Parker says: "Join us at O'Brien Park in downtown Parker on Sunday, Aug. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. as the Hartman Band kicks off the Cultural Commission's 2008 Concerts in the Park series! Free ice cream will be provided by the Parker Water and Sanitation District.

The Hartman children all began music lessons by age five learning Suzuki violin. The older ones started competing at fiddle contests and were soon inspired to branch out and learn other instruments as well.

Jim, the father of the "tribe," always loved taking his little ones to concerts and soon spurred the children on to learn some songs as a group. The influence of a loving father is such a gift! Their first official performance was in the fall of 2001 where they played for the local farmer's market. The children were all smiles as they were richly rewarded with a wagon full of vegetables.

Concerts in the Park are brought to you by the Parker Cultural Commission and the SCFD. For more information visit www.parkerpresents.org or contact Kelly Kuper at 303.805.3263. "
