Three Dog Night Concert

For eight years the Redlin Family has sponsored a well-known musical entertainment for the people of Watertown, northeast SD, ND, MN and others. Last night was our fifth concert.

The free concert takes place on the lawns of the Terry Redlin Art Center, along I29, at the east edge of town.

People bring their lawn chairs and camp out early in the day to enjoy programs for the kids, area bands, and last night, the SD Army band.

It is a sea of humanity. Thousands and thousands of people. They come on charter buses. We parked at the mall and rode a yellow school bus to the event.

 At 8:30 the main show begins.

This year Three Dog Night performed for the hour long, free concert.

The six member band played their well-known oldies, and a couple of new songs from their soon to be released album. I like their oldies best. Speaking of oldies...But Ohhh could they sing!

The audience was given glow-sticks to wave during the song "Celebrate!"

Following the hour-long concert, there is a free fireworks display. Last night was the BEST fireworks display ever!

My photos don't do justice to the awesome display.

We happened to be standing in line for our bus ride at the 'escape door' when the band members came out for their ride to their hotel. Curt said a couple of them were moving pretty slow...oldies...

I also must add now there are corporate sponsors who help fund the day-long event. When it started in 2004, Terry Redlin was the sole funding source for Mannheim Steamroller and the fireworks. The event has grown in size every year since.

In 2005 we heard Lee Greenwood, then Ronnie Milsap the following year and Sawyer Brown in 2009. Pretty awesome for our community! Thank you Terry Redlin, wildlife artist.
