Review from a member: York Street Concerts

Summer Concert Series at York Street, Denver Botanic Gardens (Photo by Scott Dressel-Martin)Our concert season is over for the year, however this blog entry should bring back some great memories of the York Street Summer Concert Series. Feel free to share some of your own memories with our audience after you read this.

Last year I noticed a couple up and dancing in front of the stage at most of the concerts, and I had the opportunity to meet these music enthusiasts. Rick Hum and his wife, Karen, longtime members of the Gardens (along with their loyal group of friends), Karen Ortiz and Rick Hum enjoying a pre-concert dinner.attend most of the concerts together. Rick was kind enough to send me his great personal reviews of the 2009 concerts, which I posted here last year. I received lots of positive feedback from visitors on that blog entry, so I asked him if he could share his reviews of the 2010 concerts with us.
