At last night's Admiral Neighborhood Association Meeting , April 14, local resident Katy Walum announced that she has gotten approval from the Hiawatha Community Center to organize a summer concert series in the park.

Concerts will be held on Thursday nights between July 23 and August 27 just behind the community center.

To avoid noise concerns, they will begin as early as 6 p.m. Bands will also draw from more mellow genres such as jazz and folk music.

Walum expects local families to mingle and enjoy picnic dinners.

"I'm aiming for a classy musical affair," Walum said. "Im really excited about it."

Walum is currently looking for band submissions and will also be seeking sponsorships from local businesses.
