Dancing Under the Stars on a crisp late August night

Dancing Under the Stars on a crisp late August night, with a band called "Reminisce"....
Sounds romantic, sounds fun, and so it was.
Sounds like it would stir memories of days not so long ago, and so it did.

Couples, many who have been together for long years, strolled in with chairs in tow and sweatshirts slung over their shoulders for the after dark chill. Many of these couples grumbled about where to sit, what to eat, who were they going to see...then they sat quietly and waited for the music's magic to begin.

As they say that music can sooth the wild beast, so it can sooth and inspire grumpy old couples!

One couple in particular caught my eye. They were so grumpy when they arrived, but soon the band began.  Their frowns went away, their feet started tapping to "Blue Moon", and their hands started clapping to "Sherry Baby". Before you knew it they were out on the "dance floor", under the stars with a plethora of other couples transported back to a reminiscent time of all fun and joy.

How wonderful that something as simple as a night full of music and dancing can make so many people happy.

Rotary Park is a great setting for the events of Putnam, with plenty of parking and the picturesque river running along beside it. We are lucky to have events such as "Dancing Under the Stars" to attend throughout the year.

I am a Putnamaniac thanks to Dancing Under the Stars!
