Music in the Village 2022 - 9 Great Weeks
Thank You
For those of you who joined the Shawnee Hills Area Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Shawnee Hills at Music in the Village 2022, we enjoyed hosting you.
We had an incredible season of nine top notch musical events and amazing good luck with the weather. I do want to thank Craig Tuthill, our chamber vice president, who booked all of the performers and emceed each evening. Craig went out of his way to provide our performers with soft drinks, water and snacks each evening as well as decorating the pavilion for our events.
When I first conceived Music in the Village several years ago my vision was to bring our village residents as well as people from surrounding communities together for an evening of great entertainment and at the same time for visitors to see what our restaurants and businesses had to offer. During the nine weeks of Music in the Village this summer, it was exciting so see audience members arrive with food and beverages from our local restaurants. Next year, we will hopefully have several more food and beverage venues for everyone to enjoy. And I hope you will join us and bring your friends for Music in the Village 2023.
Sincerely,
Carol Kender, Shawnee Hills Area Chamber of Commerce Director premium service.
