The Wilsonville Rotary Summer Concerts completed their 17th season in 2018, with great performances by headline acts Hit Machine, Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts, Cloverdayle and Ty Curtis, as well as openers Christina Cooper, Bryan Flannery, Briana Renea and The Whiskey Darlings.
“Our goal was to bring a diverse collection of high quality musicians to the community and bring people together in a fun environment,” concert co-chairs Curt Kipp and John Holley said. “We were glad to see so many people responding enthusiastically, whether they made their way down front to dance or simply sat back and enjoyed the show.”
The series in Town Center Park raised more than $6,600 for End Polio Now, a project by Rotary International and its partners (including the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) to eradicate the crippling disease.
The disease has had just 18 reported cases in three countries in 2018 and the goal is to reduce it to zero. Since 2007, the Rotary Club of Wilsonville has raised more than $72,000 for the cause.
Next year’s concerts will be held on July 28, July 25, August 1 and August 8.
