The Board of Main Street fully supports 2nd Fridays Dance & Dine in the Park and Chairman of the Main Street Board, Charlotte Scharf commented on it by saying, “Music in the Park is wonderful because it’s similar to the hometown environment that many of us remember when we were growing up.” Sharon Harris, coordinator of the food vendors said, “It creates a social connecting point for our community, giving people a chance to come together, celebrating our town.”

Main Street’s Promotions Committee lead by Jeanne du Norde worked with Oscar’s Americana Bar & Grill owner Jerry Bivens to schedule the entertainment. The mission of this committee is to promote Princess Anne for its commerce, culture, and community life for residents and visitors alike. It works out that the same entertainment will be doing their full sets the next night at Oscars, for those that miss the Friday Park concerts or want the full show that each artist brings to the stage.
