Mayors Column- Warm Weather is Here

Warm weather offers the opportunity to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The Voorhees Township Committee is pleased to welcome the summer of 2014 and our 11th Annual Summer Twilight Series to be held on the “Great Lawn” at Connolly Park. We are excited to present another fun-filled summer of free entertainment.

The first show is Thursday, June 19, rain date Sunday, June 22 and will feature Bruce in the USA, the world’s number 1 tribute to Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Bruce in the USA is much more than just another tribute band. This high-energy musical experience is note-perfect and a visually active re-creation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band show. Voorhees Township is having a real live “Bruce Bash!”

The second show is July 17, rain date Thursday, July 24 and will feature EagleMania-The World’s Greatest Eagles Tribute Band. EagleMania has dedicated itself to faithfully reproducing the sound of The Eagles. Since their inception, EagleMania has been thrilling audiences all over the East Coast with their stunning five part harmonies and uncanny ability to emulate The Eagles note by note. Their show consists of all of the Eagles greatest hits as well as some of the solo work of many of the individual members of the band such as Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh.

On Thursday, Aug. 7, rain date Thursday, Aug. 21, we welcome Almost Queen for the first time. This group succeeds in blending the vocal layering and studio precision that is a signature of the band with the energy and spectacle of a live stage production. Elaborate lighting, effects and costumes aptly frame the seasoned musicians who step into these very large shoes to render an authentic “Queen experience.”

The Summer Twilight Series concludes with the Township’s annual Movie Night in the Park on Saturday, Sept. 13, rain date Saturday, Sept. 20. The students in the Voorhees Elementary Schools and Middle School will vote on their favorite movie to be shown on the “big screen.”

The Township’s Summer Twilight Series provides free fun for all ages with plenty of parking.

The Summer Twilight Series is made possible due to the generosity of our sponsors: The Mall at Voorhees Town Center, Republic Bank, Hampton Inn/Voorhees, Hardenbergh Insurance, Environmental Resolutions, The Wire and The Voorhees Sun. Please thank these sponsors by supporting their businesses.

Come out with your chairs or just sit on the “Great Lawn” and enjoy all the shows, which are free and start at 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.voorheesnj.com.
