SANATOGA PA – Country and southern rock musicians in the band Mesa made it clear Sunday evening (Aug. 8, 2010) they were having as good a time on stage, beneath the bandshell at Sanatoga Park, as they hoped the audience was having on the hillside lawn beyond.
Band members were in a joking mood as they bantered between songs played during the second-to-last installment in Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township‘s 2010 edition of its Parks and Recreation Department “Concerts In The Park” series. An audience of about 100 people, most of them with heads bobbing in time to Mesa’s beat, came to the park at 200 S. Sanatoga Rd., Pottstown PA, to enjoy the free show.
The setting sun still shone brightly, and a quiet breeze prevailed, both creating optimal weather conditions for a night in chairs or atop blankets on the grassy slope facing the bandshell.

Next week (Sunday, Aug. 15) at 6 p.m., in the series’ final concert, talented neighbors take the stage as local musicians in the Pottsgrove Community Band return for what has become an annual appearance. The band features a variety of popular hits, show tunes and marches.

Thanks so much for posting.
And, Laurette, the band looked and sounded like you were having fun too. Thanks for playing Lower Pottsgrove, and thanks too to the sponsorship of Exelon and the township Parks and Recreation Committee.
