WASHINGTON, Conn.—The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens invites the community to an evening of celebration, music and friends at its annual FUNraiser Saturday, Sept. 13, at 5 p.m. in Washington Depot.
This year’s event will feature a concert on the grounds of the Bryan Memorial Town Hall with live rhythm and blues music by Personal Touch, followed by a post-concert reception with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres at the park.
Admission to the reception is included in select ticket levels.
Personal Touch is an old-school style rhythm and blues band formed in 2016. They perform both original songs and well known covers, bringing the sounds of Motown, Soul, and funky dance music to life with flair and finesse.
Dressed to impress in the classic style of legendary acts such as The Four Tops and The Temptations, Personal Touch transports audiences to an era of soulful grooves and irresistible rhythms.
“We are once again looking forward to gathering with friends at this much-anticipated annual event to celebrate all that the park offers our community,” says Executive Director Laura Neminski.
Pre-registration is encouraged; limited tickets will be sold at the door. Seating begins at 4:30 p.m. on a first-come-first-served basis. The FUNraiser performance will happen rain or shine. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets. Picnics are welcome.
