"Staycation" opportunities abound

By all accounts, except a first-hand one, cowboy band Riders in the Sky rocked the Crockett Park crowd at its outdoor concert Sunday night.
Commissioner Paul Webb called to tell me it was packed, over 3,000 people there. The show ran for almost two hours and best of all, it was free.
I have a feeling record crowds are going to be the norm for the 15th annual Brentwood Concert Series, held Sunday nights at the Eddy Arnold Amphitheater. Lots of people are on the lookout this year for inexpensive entertainment options close to home.
The question "Where are you going for vacation?" is being answered more often than not with "We're doing a 'staycation' this year." That's definitely true for the Leathers family.
Throughout the summer I'll be offering up staycation ideas as I discover them, so check back often. And if you have one to share, please share it with others in the comment section below.
If you have kids, don't miss Sunday's posting on the Summer Reading Program at the library. This is the best deal going. I may try to borrow a tyke tomorrow just so I can attend without guilt.
And in case you've tossed your postcard from the city, here's the remaining lineup for the concert series. All concerts start at 7 p.m. Picnics welcome, but leave the grills and alcohol at home. Don't forget the bug spray!

  • June 21: Williamson County Community Band
  • June 28: The WannaBeatles
  • July 4: The Kadillacs and fireworks
