Koka Booth Amphitheatre – Tift Merritt

Tift Merritt

Calling all Tift Merritt fans – the Grammy-nominated singer will be providing a FREE show this Sunday September 2 at Koka Booth. She will be performing with the North Carolina Symphony for Pops in the Park.

Bring your picnic, lawn chairs and blankets. For more info, you can visit Tift’s Ofiicial Fan site (she’s a Raleigh native and UNC-Chapel Hill grad), or the Koka Booth Amphitheater site.

Anyone in Lochmere can easily ride/walk over to the park via the Swift Creek trail past Ritter Park to avoid the long lines.

If we go, we will be the ones pedaling the 2 kids in the double-seat GoBug.

Would love to hear what the fans think after the show! Hit the comment button below at the bottom of the page to register (and get a chance for a free dinner) to leave your thoughts.

Since the last baseball game I had been to was over ten years ago, I thought it would be great fun to attend, and bring my 3 year old son for some Father-Son bonding time.

Being a minor league park, every seat has that “you’re a part of the action” feel, not the “you are so far away from the action that you had better bring your binoculars to see the ants play” seat like some of big league stadiums. The seats we had were right behind the Bulls dugout, about 10 rows back, it was like being on field with the team. [Read more…]
