Dallas Arboretum Announces Fall Cool Thursdays Concert Series
DALLAS, TX - Cool Thursdays, sponsored by Park Place Motorcars, is Dallas' only concert series overlooking scenic WhiteRockLake. This year's series returns to the Dallas Arboretum for its fourth fall season from September 10 to October 29, 2009. This popular event provides the best concert ambiance in the Metroplex at the Arboretum's Martin Rutchik Concert Stage amid beautiful, seasonal fall colors. Performances begin each week at 7:30 pm with gates opening at 6 pm.
This year's Cool Thursdays Concert Series Chairmen are Jerry and Mary Washam of Dallas, Texas. The Washam family have been supporters of the Dallas Arboretum for 20 years and were thrilled when they were named the 2009 Cool Thursdays Chairmen.' This Cool Thursdays concert series is exciting and diverse and is guaranteed to be memorable for people of all ages.' Washam said.
The Martin Rutchik Concert Stage and Lawn provides the perfect location to gather with family and friends on Thursday evenings. While relaxing in the midst of the lake's cool breeze, concert-goers can listen to popular bands perform rock-n-roll tributes, pops, jazz, and big band sounds.
