Floyd Small Town Summer Series Kicks Off at Park
-The following first appeared in The Floyd Press on June 24, 2021.
The weather was perfect for the first Floyd Small Town Summer, a series event hosted by the town at the Warren Lineberry Park. The Thursday evening event drew a large crowd. Families spread out blankets and children played in the grass on and on park playground equipment.
Amanda Bocchi and The Soul Food from Roanoke opened the musical portion of the evening.
Dancers danced to the World Music grooves of Floyd’s own Music Road Company, whose music flowed from funk, reggae, rock, blues, soul, afro-beat and island dance.
One out of town dancer noted that the event had a “celebratory feeling,” and that she enjoyed dancing and seeing the smiles on people’s faces.
“It was a wonderful reunion of everyone being out again now that the pandemic restrictions are subsiding,” said attendee Joe Klein. The movie The Croods: A New Age was shown after dusk.
