Soothing sounds and easy listening melodies end outdoor summer music

On Friday, August 21, 2009, from 6:30 - 8:30 P.M., at the North Jefferson Street Pier Pavilion, please welcome Karen Svanoe Westgate, professional harpist who will be making her tenth appearance at River Front Live! Karen performs extensively on the harp for weddings, funerals, banquets and open houses. Ms. Westgate has made seven harp recordings and distributes them internationally through her company, Harpgate Productions. Her harp music has been featured on both radio and television. "I love to play the harp. The Lord has given me a wonderful talent that I want to share." Says Karen of her music. Join us for a dose of heavenly music, sure to soothe.

On Saturday, August 22, 2009 from 6:30 - 8:30 P.M., by popular demand, Dave Ninke of Dream Works Entertainment, from Oak Harbor, Oh, returns to entertain us with his beautiful voice. He specializes in 50's thru 80's oldies and rock & roll and usually grants all musical requests. "Dream Works offers a huge musical selection so that I can tailor my performance to the crowd," says Dave. Dave is a very popular local performer and is a River Front Live! favorite.

River Front Live! is an all volunteer summer outdoor musical program sponsored by the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and Neidecker-LeVeck and Crosser Funeral Home, showcasing a variety of local talent and enthusiastic performers. The program was created to bring attention to the gateway to the downtown historic river front district, including the opportunity of parking in the convenient and secure city parking lot, located at the north end of Jefferson Street. The city municipal parking lot affords you complete access to beautiful river front and lake front vistas. Experience the high "walk-ability" rating of our historic river front district.

Join our year round residents, our summertime residents and visitors at the river front location at the North Jefferson Street Pier Pavilion. Eat dinner or pick up a snack-to-go from the closely located restaurants and bring your own chairs to enjoy the view and the good family oriented music.

If interested in volunteering as a performer [easy-listening only] or as a River Front Live! Representative, who is present during performances, names are being taken for next year's schedule by calling 419.734.2397. Co-organizers are Mary Gordon and Kathy Jo Schweitzer.
