Big band sounds 2008’s finale for Sequim’s Music in the Park

SEQUIM — The swingin’ sounds of big band music will close the 2008 series of outdoor Music in the Park concerts on Tuesday night.

This week’s free concert featuring Stardust Big Band will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the bandshell just north of Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave.

Admission is free. All ages are welcome.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket.

Tap your toes — or bring your dancing shoes and get up to dance to Stardust’s standards from the 1930s and ’40s.

Tote a picnic basket or grab some food from a downtown store or restaurant.

The Sequim concerts have been sponsored this summer by Karl Allen and John Rigg of ADR Developers; Team McAleer; Clark Land Office; Gray and Osborne; William Littlejohn companies; Dungeness Courte; Lakeside Industries; Jarmuth Electric; Bekkevar Logging and Trucking; and Northwest Eye Surgeons; and Sequim This Week, the Peninsula Daily News’ free weekly newspaper for Sequim.

The PDN also will co-sponsor a free outdoor concert in Port Angeles:
