KPRI Concerts On The Square

Every summer, there are things I look forward to. At my old job, it used to be half day Fridays, which we got every other week for 12 weeks. At my current employ, we work longer hours M-Th so every Friday is a half day. I'm not saying I don't still love it, but I take it for granted sometimes. One reminder then, that summer is here are the KPRi Concerts on The Square. KPRi and KNSD and other sponsors erect a stage at Broadway Circle in front of Horton Plaza and from Noon-1pm every Friday, a band plays a free concert. Tammy, from KPRi's promotion department is usually there, too, giving out station swag and tickets to different events.

The bands skew to an older audience, being a triple A station, that is what one would expect, but they can be fun and at least make you feel like our downtown has some real life to it every once in a while. It also might touch your heart a little when you see some of the chaperoned special needs adults dancing their hearts out.
