It was a perfect summer evening
in Somerville on Friday, June 17. As is usual,
the antique cars were lined up along Main Street, and the sidewalks on both sides
of our county seat’s thoroughfare were full of strollers enjoying the sights and
sounds of their surroundings.
The restaurants were doing
a brisk business, with many of them offering street-side dining on tables set up
just outside their establishments.

Further down by the old County
Court House and the Jury Selection Building, the Somerset Valley Orchestra was tuning
up for an outdoor performance on the lawn between the two buildings, and people
were gathering and setting up their summer folding chairs in anticipation of a delightful
evening. And delightful it was.
Led by Mr. Larry Markiewicz,
Conductor, a large group of area people were treated to a music fest where the weather,
the setting, the performers and the audience all came together to create a pleasant
evening of musical enjoyment.

It’s a tribute to Somerset
County and its sponsors that so many talented musicians – young and mature – can
volunteer to assemble in this fashion to showcase their craft for the benefit of
others.
Below are more random photos that I snapped. They show how well the evening went. Hope you enjoy them.
