The Tyrone-Snyder Township Public Library has announced the long awaited date for the sixth annual Library Fundraising Spring Concert.
\n\u201cThis year\u2019s concert will be held on Saturday evening, April 21 at the Tyrone Area High School auditorium,\u201d announced concert chairman Chuck Banas.
\nThese fundraising concerts have been receiving rave notices as each year they have been able to draw in hundreds of people who enjoy a great evening of entertainment provided by nationally-known artists. Last year, the library brought us Charlie Thomas and The Drifters in a show that was attended by almost 1,000 people.
\n\u201cThe success of the shows has been very instrumental in maintaining our public library here in Tyrone,\u201d said Banas. \u201cWithout the money generated from these annual concerts, the library would be very hard pressed to meet the monthly mortgage payments on the new facility located in downtown Tyrone.\u201d
\nThese annual concerts have been very entertaining, have really been well received and bring people from multiple counties into Tyrone.
\n\u201cWe have really been able to grow this into a town-wide event,\u201d continued Banas. \u201cWe have people traveling in from all around the area as well as Eastern and Western Pennsylvania and this results in additional revenue being spent here in Tyrone. Many of these people come in and shop at our local shops or have dinner. I have been told by our local restaurant owners that the reservations for early hours of the day of the concert have increased each year. This makes it great for not just the library, but for the entire Tyrone area community,\u201d pointed out Banas.
\nThe five concerts held to date have generated over $46,000 for the library, with all of the money going towards paying off the mortgage on the new library.
\n\u201cWith the cuts that libraries have suffered in funding, the library would be in a dire situation if the concerts were not successful,\u201d said Banas.
\n\u201cWe will be starting to announce the attractions for this year\u2019s show over the next few weeks,\u201d smiled Banas. \u201cI am very happy with the line-up that we have and we are going to be making a great many people happy for sure,\u201d Banas continued. \u201cI will give you a hint, our headliners this year are coming in from Los Angeles, California.
\n\u201cI know that our corporate ticket sale drive will be starting within the next two weeks. Our business partners have been great in supporting our concert series by purchasing their ads along with the block of tickets. Without their support, we would not be nearly as successful,\u201d said Banas.
\n\u201cWe will also be announcing ticket locations and the ticket available purchase dates in the very near future. You may want to keep this in mind for a special Valentine\u2019s Day gift,\u201d said Banas.
\nAdditional information will be provided as released. However, you may want to mark the date and time now for this year\u2019s annual Tyrone-Snyder Township Public Library fundraising concert, Saturday night, April 21, with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. and the show to start promptly at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
