More great toe-tappin’ rhythms will fill the streets of Hardy again

It seems Main Street Hardy is a magnet for the browsers, the shoppers, the munchers and sidewalk hoppers when rolling rhythms seem to carry folks along from one antique shop to a novelty candy shop. Let the melodies and beats of Dennis Horton, Chuck Young and their band Overtime putair under your step once again this Saturday, August 13, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The group will be gracing the beautiful gardens of Dr. Thompson’s Park nestled right in the middle of downtown Hardy. Don’t hesitate to bring along a dance partner as their tunes and cadences are destined to bring backa sweet memory or reveal a hidden spark you forgot you still had. The park offers shade and comforting peace to sit in respite as lilting lyrics may carry you away. Bring an ice cream cone or soda, or just your ears and your heart to enjoy a wonderful Saturday afternoon in Hardy.
