Central Park was rocking Friday night in Charles City. The third installment this summer of Party in the Park featured live music, plenty of cool refreshments to beat the heat, and no shortage of delicious food to tempt party-goers’ taste buds.
Temperatures soared into the 90s with a heat index of well over 100 degrees on Friday, but that didn’t stop plenty of folks from enjoying a good time. The theme for the night was “Red Carpet in Chucktown,” meaning revelers could dress in their summer best attire. Plenty of folks jammed out to the music of the Jay Clyde Band, which hails from Manson.
The next Party in the Park will be July 13 and the theme for that event is “Christmas in July.”
