Traditions on the Green attracts hundreds

By

A crowd estimated at about 400 enjoyed pleasant weather for Traditions on the Green, a concert featuring local music and dance groups.

The free family event was presented by the Heritage Park Foundation and the Wesley Chapel Noon Rotary Club Land O’ Lakes Satellite.

It was the first time the annual Traditions on the Green was held on the newly built Heritage Stage, a project that was years in the making.

The Lake Myrtle chorus, the Land O’ Lakes High School and the Pine View Middle School bands performed, and Pine View Middle’s dance team entertained the crowd, too.

Before the concert began, those attending could play games, kids could jump in a bouncy house and tickets were sold for a raffle.
