MANCHESTER, NH – It was the perfect night for a musical interlude at Stark Park. Although it’s been a summer of preempted activities due to a record-breaking rainy season, all systems were go for Dan Gabel and the Abletones big band, who paid tribute to the swinging sounds of Glenn Miller. The evening was also billed as a tribute to commemorate the 75th anniversary of World War II.
Folks assembled with lawn chairs, blankets and snacks – and kids and dogs – gathered around the Stark Park gazebo, enjoying nostalgic favorite tunes and the warm evening air.
