FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

ROOT SKANKADELIC TO PERFORM AT PENNY PARK

 

WHEN:  SATURDAY, SEPT 3, 7:00 PM

 

CONTACT:  MATTIE JOHNSON, 313-4925

 

            Roots Skankadelic, a local reggae band, will perform a community concert to help kick off the 2005 Penny Park Membership Drive this Saturday, September 3.  The band has been performing at venues around Silver City for the past year, and looks forward to playing for an all-ages audience.

            “We look forward to playing outdoors and seeing families and friends dance with one another,” states Josh White, bassist for the band.  “We are also happy to contribute to the continued use and growth of the facilities at the park.”

            This summer has been full of music at Penny Park.  Bands such as Compas, Captain Cactus, Socket, Your Sister Cheryl, and Ripcor have all played over the summer.  “It is great to see the amphitheater getting used by all of these musicians, and even better to see so much of our community enjoying the shows,” comments Charlotte Griffin, a member of the Park’s board of directors.

            In addition to being a fun community event, the concert also marks the beginning of Penny Park’s annual Membership Drive.  The park was built on small donations that added up—to over $400,000 in 1998-99 to build the park’s original infrastructure.  “Penny Park’s operating budget continues to be financed chiefly through donations from the community, and if everyone who uses the park gives a bit (memberships range from $25 for an individual to $1000 and up) then we will be able to continue to keep the park trash free, weed free, seal the wood each season, organize events for the community to enjoy, and build new infrastructure,” explains coordinator Mattie Johnson.  “Many people who are moving here or who have recently had children don’t realize that this park is privately owned and operated for public use.  In order to keep it safe, fun, and beautiful we all have to do our part.”

            Admission to the Root Skankadelic concert is $3/individual, $10/family, or free with a new or renewed membership to the park for 2005.   For more information on membership, the concert, or about Penny Park, please call the park office at 534-0261 or Toy Town at 388-1677.
