Somerville Cruise - August 5th

Somerville Cruise Night is here again with another all-American evening featuring a Corvette specialty and the Connie Tarantino Summer Concert featuring Heather Mulvey.

Enjoy some Corvettes from past cruises...


According to her Myspace page (where you can listen to a few of her songs), guitarist Heather Mulvey performs traditional Americana, Celtic, and contemporary folk songs. The concert is from 7-8 p.m. on the county courthouse steps.

##
Reminders: wear comfortable shoes and bring a camera. Cruise Night is outdoors. Nice place to bring your dog if he or she is well behaved and does well in crowds. Don't touch the cars without the owners' permission.

Many Main Street restaurants provide outside dining on Cruise Nights at reasonable prices. Many of the area businesses stay open for cruise...patronize them.

This is a true cruise with many of the cars driving up-and-down Main Street...be careful.

There is an oldies DJ at the church on West Main Street and more cars in the lot behind the church.

Walk over to the front lawn of the Somerset County Courthouse to enjoy the free Conni Tarantino concerts. Go here to see what's playing and remember these are outdoors and can be rained out:


There is a golden oldies DJ in front of the church on Main Street: say hello, request a tune, dance a few steps...


And it's all free!

##
A few hints:
Wear comfortable shoes. Allow enough time - a few hours. Take a camera. If you are going to spend time at the concert, take a chair or blanket. If you family dog is well-behaved take them along - although it can be hot and crowded.

There are at least 14 restaurants that offer outdoor dining (Not free!) on Cruise Nights:

Many of the Main Street businesses stay open during Cruise - stop in.
