Pirates takeover Candlewick Lake

On Sunday, July 17, Pirates invaded the Candlewick Lake beach side.

Well, Pirates Over 40 that is.

Pirates Over 40 came to the Candlewick Lake beach armed with guitars, drums, and horns with the intention to entertain.

They accomplished their sea-worthy goals with a full two hour set of music.

Of course, the weather threatened to dampen the evening with sever rain and bad weather in the forecast for Sunday evening. However, the weather forecast was wrong again with the 6:30 concert still being able to go on without a cloud in sight over the beach, leaving beach-goers and music-lovers with a picture-perfect evening listening to the sounds of the tropical calypso.

The concert was thanks to the Boone County Arts Council’s 2016 Concert in the Park series. This was the last concert of the series. The Candlewick Lake Association and Poplar Grove State Bank helped sponsor the event.
