“We enjoy announcing the unofficial arrival of summer with our Concerts and Movies lineups,” said Rachel Fiedler, leisure supervisor. “These community-favorite events are made possible through the help of our sponsors, The Brouwers Agency, Auto-Owners Insurance and Friends of the EGR Library. We are excited to help create fun summertime memories for community members at the picturesque John Collins Park.”
Those interested in attending are encouraged to arrive early to claim their spot. In the event of inclement weather, events will be canceled and not rescheduled. Updates on concerts and movies can be found on the Parks and Recreation Department's Facebook page.
