Del Bergeson Orchestra And Cousins Maine Lobster Draw Crowd At The Timbers of Shorewood

Community members, local seniors, and music lovers gathered at The Timbers of Shorewood on Thursday, July 16, for a free performance by the Del Bergeson Orchestra. Attendees enjoyed big band arrangements while dining on seafood options from the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck, which was on-site serving lobster rolls, chowder, and more.

The concert was part of The Timbers’ ongoing Summer Concert Series and month-long “Taste of Timbers” food truck event series. Throughout July, the senior living community has brought live entertainment and food truck options to the area. Select food truck days also serve as fundraisers, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association through Team Timbers.

“We were thrilled to see such a wonderful turnout from our neighbors and residents,” said Sheila Albor, director of marketing at The Timbers of Shorewood. “The music was incredible, the food was a huge hit, and having the community fill our ballroom made for a fantastic afternoon. We are so grateful to everyone who joined us, and we are looking forward to keeping the momentum going with our remaining summer events.”

The Timbers of Shorewood will continue its summer lineup with additional performances and food trucks throughout the remainder of July.
