Music echoed throughout the neighborhood of Laurel Park Saturday night for Tunes in the Park. 

The semi-annual event is a chance for neighbors to come together, share a dish and take in local musicians. Neighbors walked from their home to the park located on Laurel Street for the event. Guests all contributed to the potluck with main dishes, appetizers and desserts. 

Entertainment for the evening was provided by Ted Stevens and the Doo-Shots a retro-rockabilly made up of guitarist Ted Stevens, Butch Alan on bass and Joe Hendricks on drums.
