This year’s carnival and booths were on a hard surface. The park was green and uncluttered. A huge crowd used the open green space to enjoy our beautiful Frontier Park and the fireworks. We looked good this year!

It was another wonderful Rendezvous in St. Charles Concert Series evening in the Historic District. The Lewis & Clark Fife & Drum Corps performed first and were given a hearty round of applause. Tu’Penny Players and Dance Discovery followed. The concert was attended by about 200 enthusiastic concert guests.

The first concert of the Rendezvous in St. Charles Concert Series was amazing. Performing from the St. Louis Symphony were Heidi Harris and Erik Harris. The Lewis & Clark Fife & Drum Corps greeted arriving guests. It was a special night on South Main.
