Fort Reno Dates Trickling In
One of the final, um, rites of spring is waiting to find out which bands will be performing at the long-running Fort Reno Summer Concert Series, the annual event that brings free music to Fort Reno Park every Monday and Thursday from mid-June through mid-August. The vague "check back in May" on the Fort Reno Web site isn't much help, but curious folks that we are, we've scoured the Internet, asked around and have found a handful of dates confirmed by the artists. After the jump, check out what we've been able to piece together so far. Expect a full schedule within the next couple of weeks.
June 18 -- Deleted Scenes
June 21 -- Let's French
June 25 -- The Engine Room
June 28 -- Julie Ocean
July 9 -- Statehood, Greenland
July 16 -- Beauty Pill, Len Bias
July 19 -- Carol Bui
July 26 -- Antelope
Aug. 2 -- Yell County

Maybe so, but what a great thing it is for DC to have this place that's gone on for so many years so successfully, all volunteer all the time.
Maybe you'd like to work on getting the dates set and on the website?

It always disappoints me when the Fort Reno people don't get the dates up by Memorial Day. Father Charlie used to crack that whip.
