The night Lenny Kravitz, Jet and the rain 🌧 came to TOWN! Super concert!

Friday - The temperature dropped precipitously from 33 to 20 within minutes as the rain set in.

The Lenny Kravitz Concert 🎶 featured a superior stage setup and phenomenal performances by Jett and Lenny himself .

The concert was a resounding success, despite the audience being drenched and chilled to the bone. The organizers are to be commended for staging a world-class event in our local community.

The rain did not dampen the spirits of attendees, who stayed on to enjoy the entertainment.

The boggy conditions resulted in muddy boots for all, but no one was heard complaining.
