On Weds night July 26th from 6 -8pm, Wildfire served up a smorgasbord of tunes ranging from Dancing Queen by ABBA to God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood to an enthusiastic crowd for the final night of the Lynnfield Rotary Concert series. The talented vocalists of the group led the way with a wide-ranging repertoire of songs including Simply the Best by Tina Turner, Gloria by Laura Brannigan, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, Giver Me Some Lovin’ by Richie Valens, Old Time Rock ‘n Roll by Bob Seger and many more, to the delight of the largest audience of the year.
The weather couldn’t have provided a better backdrop for this the final Rotary Concert. The energy was exhilarating as young and old enjoyed the inviting evening atmosphere with family and friends.
Interact, the LHS young Rotarian club, charged with handling food and beverages were so busy they asked that the food and beverage tables remain up until after the final song.
The balloon man, Tim Levesque, who provides his artistic handiwork, also found himself having a very busy night, as kids were lined up waiting for his balloon creations with less than a half hour left in the event.
Five raffle winners happily accepted their prizes during intermission.
Safe to say, Wildfire cemented their position as the anchor of the July - four-week Wednesday night concert line-up, it was a fitting way to bring the successful 2023 season to a memorable conclusion.
