SAFETY FIRST PROGRAM PART OF THIS YEAR’S
SUMMERFEST FAMILY THEATRE SERIES
Join us at the Baker Park Bandshell on Saturday, July 22nd at 7pm, to learn all about safety, firsthand, as a representative from the Frederick City Police and the United Fire Company present a program aimed at keeping you safe. First, meet your friends, the policeman and the fireman. After the program, explore a police cruiser and fire engine right in Baker Park.
While the performances are FREE to the public, the Summerfest Family Theatre Committee encourages you to bring a canned food item in lieu of admission. Non-perishable items such as canned meats and vegetables, soups, peanut butter, cereal, rice and pastas are requested. All items collected benefit the Frederick City Community Action Agency Food Bank. Items will be collected at the new Information Booth donated by Drees Homes, located at the top of the bandshell steps in Baker Park. A special thank you to Drees Homes for this generous donation.
In the event of inclement weather, please tune to 99.9 WFRE or 103.1 WAFY for news of event cancellation. Due to the travel time and set-up by various artists and the sound production company, decisions regarding weather are made by approx. 4:00 PM. Therefore, if the weather is inclement at this time, listen to the radio for confirmation of the evening’s performance being cancelled.
This year’s theater series would not be possible without the generous support of the following corporate sponsors. The Spires Sponsors are Bechtel Foundation, CelllularOne, Drees Homes, Sandy Spring Bank, Spectrum Federal Credit Union and Weis Markets.
