Thank you for series support

To the editor:

On behalf of the Arts Place Performance Committee, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to the fantastic success of our recent summer concert series.

This year’s series was a celebration of music, community and the joy of summer. Featuring an incredible lineup of talented musicians, including Phil Dirt & the Dozers; Whoa, Man! Band, Celebrating Women in Rock; Liverpool Lads: A Beatles Tribute; and Sounds of Summer: A Beach Boys Tribute; the performances were nothing short of extraordinary. We were absolutely thrilled to witness the growing crowds with each concert as our community came together to share in the joy of live music.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the delicious food trucks that kept our concertgoers satisfied and happy. Payne’s Food Truck, Mrs. P’s Kitchen, Ryzone’s Food Truck, The Scoop Station, Imagine Burgers Food Truck, Kona Ice, Pappie’s Smokehouse BBQ and Iceburg Ice Cream all played a vital role in making our events a truly enjoyable experience.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge the generous support of our sponsors: Compass Wealth Solutions, The Portland Foundation and the City of Portland. Their contributions were instrumental in making these free concerts a reality for our community.

We hope that this summer concert series brought joy, fun and a sense of togetherness to our community. Thank you again for your unwavering support, and we look forward to seeing you for the 2025 Eric R. Rogers Performing Arts Series beginning in February 2025.

Sincerely,

LeeAnn Miller and Laura Pieper
