Sometimes hidden gems lie waiting to be discovered in unexpected places if we are willing to take the time to uncover them. Concerts in the park on a warm summer evening are the stuff that dreams are made of.
These hidden gems are the subject of many Hollywood productions. The series "Gilmore Girls" often showcases live music on the town square highlighted in an ethereal glow of patrons in lawn chairs on a backdrop of green grass.
Such things truly do exist in real life - complete with blankets and lawn chairs and patrons toting picnic baskets on a backdrop of green grass with remnants of the twilight sun setting in the background.
It's hard to imagine that all of this exists within the big city limits. This is not a charming small town with a quaint square like the fictional realm of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. This is suburban Oklahoma City, but from the surroundings you wouldn't know it.
Nestled in one of Edmond's most beautiful city parks, this is one of the most delightful Thursday night summer traditions imaginable. People of all ages sang along to some of the greatest hits from decades past. The little ones who didn't know the words to "Mustang Sally" just danced along instead.
It just goes to show that you never know what you'll find if you just take the time to look.
