'60s Invasion Plays Last 2012 Summer Concert

The following is an announcement from the town's summer concerts committee:

The season’s last Lynnfield Library Concert will be held Wednesday August 1 from 6-8 p.m. (rain date Thursday) on the Lynnfield Common featuring 60’s Invasion, a show band highlighting music from the 1960’s.  

Performing in costume, 60’s Invasion plays popular songs of and pays tribute to such musicians as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison.  One of their segments is entitled the History of Rock which encompasses music and fun facts from 1910 through 1960.  The bands four members have extensive backgrounds and experience in the music industry and their CD was used on the TV series Dawson’s Creek for two seasons.  They appeal to audiences of all ages with an entertaining style that showcases a great mix of hit music with trivia and crowd involvement.

The band 60’s Invasion is co-sponsored by The Savings Bank and First Financial Trust.  Friends of the Lynnfield Seniors will run the fundraising refreshment table selling Kayem hot dogs, snacks and drinks.  Northfield Orthodontics will be serving free ice cream at the concert to thank their customers and support the Friends of the Seniors.  The children’s craft table will feature tissue paper flower creations, face painting and coloring.  Hula hoops, chalk, jump ropes, and beach balls will be available for independent play with organized games such as suction ball toss, ring toss and potato sack races run during intermission.

Raffle tickets will be sold at the concert to encourage donations.  Proceeds will be used to defray costs and enhance the Lynnfield Summer Concerts experience as well as to sponsor library music programs.  This week’s raffle prizes have been donated by: Bertucci’s in Reading,  HockeyTown USA, Outback Restaurant, Baubles Jewelry, and Whole Foods.  All donations are very much appreciated so please give generously.
