On Friday, April 6, 2018, and Saturday, April 7, 2018, I attended four events for which I wanted to thank the organizers and sponsors in a blog post. Here are links to three of the blog posts, in addition to the one below:
- April 2018 Mix: Philosophy at the Cleveland Museum of Art
- Rails-to-Trails Conservancy - Opening Day for Trails Cleveland!
- MOCA Cleveland Free First Saturday - April 2018
- Rock Hall Community Celebration 2018 (BELOW)
Rock Hall Community Celebration 2018
THE OFFICIAL KICK OFF TO ROCK WEEK AT THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME
Join us for a community celebration powered by PNC with free admission and filled with live music, family activities, new exhibits, educational programs, a Bon Jovi album listening, food trucks, and film screenings.
On April 7, 2018, after a busy morning at the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy 2018 Opening Day for Trails - Cleveland, and spending the afternoon at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland Free First Saturday, I continued the fun with an exciting evening at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (@RockHall).
A BIG shout-out to PNC Bank (@PNCBank)! In addition to sponsoring this free day at Cleveland's Rock Hall, they also sponsored the MOCA Free First Saturday that I enjoyed this afternoon.
There was so much happening at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that night, including concerts, fireworks, food, entertainment, and free entrance to the museum. I want to commend the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame staff how they did a good job handling the large crowds. They kept the lines moving, and provided entertainment and activities to keep people engaged.
I also recommend taking a Facebook video tour with Annie Nickoloff (@Nickoloffoff), and viewing the great video and photos in her article, Rock Hall kicks off induction week with fireworks, new Hall of Fame, Richie Sambora concert & more.
Hopefully, my @sos_jr tweets and retweets captured some of the fun and excitement of the evening. Please enjoy these tweets, and share those that interest you by retweeting:
