100+ Gather for Lake Wales Live

The second Lake Wales Live event drew about 100 people for music, food and lovely evening weather March 15.

Sponsored by the City of Lake Wales Parks and Recreation Department, Friday's event featured music by Warner University's Beyond Belief Jazz Ensemble and singer and acoustic guitar player Cory Greenway of Frostproof.

Recreation Coordinator Stephanie Edwards said she was pleased with the crowd, which was larger than the group that attended the first Lake Wales Live event in February. Edwards said she is working to select musical groups for future events, which are scheduled for the third Friday of every month.

Attendees brought lawn chairs and blankets and visited with others enjoying the music and food truck fare. Rotary on the Ridge members also served wine and beer for donations to the club's water safety initiative.

The next Lake Wales Live is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Friday, April 19 in the new city park across from the library at 290 Cypress Gardens Lane.
