MUSIC IN THE PARK UPDATE
Well, the weather is just not cooperating with us this time. Due to the rain in tomorrow’s forecast, we unfortunately need to cancel Saturday evening’s Music in the Park featuring the Princeton School of Rock House Band.
We’re definitely disappointed to miss what would have been a great final night of the series, but stay tuned! We’re hoping we may be able to find a new date and will share an update if we’re able to reschedule.
Thanks for understanding, Bordentown!
