“Rock & Roll” at Coal Miners Memorial Park in West Frankfort

from Marcia Raubach

Coal Miners Memorial Park presents “Rock & Roll” in the park featuring Johnathan Len from the group Blend beginning at 7PM Friday, September 22 at the park location in downtown West Frankfort.

The park unveiled the new stage last May and since has had several events over the last few months with several more planned in the future. Len will be presenting favorite rock & roll hits of the 50’s and 60’s along with some country classics.

Len, the highly popular lead singer from the group Blend, also mixes a lot of comical charisma on stage with his fabulous voice. He has recently branched out with a solo act. Friday night’s concert goes along with the FCHS Homecoming activities and the “Classes of the Fabulous Fifites” celebration reunion which will bring hundreds of alumni in town for homecoming activities as well as alumni from other classes who gather for reunions at the high school homecoming time in West Frankfort.

Homecoming activities are planned all week at FCHS as well as the rival football game with Benton on Saturday afternoon. Everyone is welcome to attend this free concert. Bring a lawnchair and sit back and enjoy “Rock and Roll” in the park this Friday evening at Coal Miners Memorial Park. The park committee will also be celebrating reaching their 2017 goal of 50 new bricks in memorial park for 2017. The number now stands at 55 and committee members will be on hand to take orders for bricks that evening for fall installation.
