You know him, you love him: Dennis Ford returns to the City Park here in Corry all the way from Ashtabula, Ohio. Thursday in the Park wouldn’t be the same without him; Thursday in the Park fans tell us each and every year that he is one of their favorites, and we’re looking forward to fulfilling your request to having him return once more! You’ll find him crooning the standards in his dulcet tones from 7-9 PM this coming Thursday!

We would have to do a lot of digging to find out just how many times Dennis Ford has appeared at Thursday in the Park. Join us in closing out our 2021 season with one of our most hugely popular re-appearing performers as he sings standards from the 50’s and 60’s, as well as some originals, all made possible with the help of his wife.
As with all of our events this summer, we still encourage social distancing and mask wearing when interacting face to face with people. Our events are pet friendly, but we would appreciate it if you would keep your animals on a leash and ensure they are well behaved. We do not have a rain location this year. In the event of bad weather, unfortunately, we will be forced to cancel.
Local duo Slim and Red, known for appearances all over our area such as the North Hills golf course, First Fridays, and even at ComiCon Erie, have been entertaining fans as a duet for 10 years. Husband and wife Myk and Lo’s astonishing skills on multiple instruments accompanying her hauntingly beautiful lead vocals have garnered them a dedicated fan base in their home town, and we are thrilled to have them back on August 19th and to help them celebrate their 10th year prfofessionally entertaining!
