Fall is right around the corner, and as we anticipate the changing of leaves and cool autumn breeze, we can't help but reflect on the incredible first Free Community Summer Concert Series that took place at the new Off the Beaten Path. The series was truly a testament to the power of community, music, art, and philanthropy.

Hosting three immensely talented performers – Cash K. Allen, Vincent Paul Bryant, and the ever-entertaining Space Cats – was a true honor. Their performances lit up the stage and brought joy and excitement to all who attended.

But what made this concert series even more special was the amazing weather that graced us throughout. The sun shone brightly, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. The alleyway between our current location and our upcoming South Main Street establishment was buzzing with energy and excitement, thanks to the remarkable turnout. With an average of 80+ people at each concert, we were blown away by the support from the community.

Of course, no concert experience is complete without delicious treats, and our guests were treated to mouthwatering hot dogs and snacks. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jim and Deb Seem of Fostoria Community Church for providing free water to keep everyone refreshed, and to Alan Kaminsky Jewelers for their generous contribution of a beautiful LeightWorks necklace for a random prize drawing during the second concert. Their support truly made the concert series a well-rounded experience.

But the magic didn't stop there. We also took the opportunity to showcase the immense talent of young local artists by commissioning artwork for the space. The artwork added an extra layer of creativity and beauty to the concerts, further enhancing the experience for everyone.

In addition to the music and art, we were also able to raise funds for First Steps, an incredible organization, through raffle baskets during our first concert. The support and generosity of the community was heartwarming, and it was truly inspiring to see everyone come together to support such a deserving cause.

As we transition into fall, we can't help but feel grateful for the memories and experiences we shared during the summer concert series. This was just the beginning of what we hope will become a long-lasting tradition. We are excited to continue creating memorable events at Downtown ReEVENTed and would love for you to join us on this journey.

Stay tuned for what's to come! The fall season promises new adventures and exciting surprises. We can't wait to share them with all of you. In the meantime, let's take a moment to appreciate the power of community, music, art, and philanthropy – the very essence of Off the Beaten Path.
