July 5, 2005: Volunteering at Summer Celebration

I decided this year to volunteer to work at the Muskegon Summer 
Celebration,so I chose the concerts that I wanted to see: Boyz II Men, 
Smokey Robinson,Rick Springfield, and Journey.  I was listening to the 
radio and I was the 8th caller and answered the trivia question and won 
2 VIP passes to Rick Springfield and then 2 General Admission tickets to 
see Styx.
 
While working at the Summer Celebration, I got tokens which is the 
form of payment for your volunteering. So, I used those for the concert, 
Brad Paisley.    So, I am seeing 6 concerts totally free.
 
Tonight, I am going to be at the front gate for Rick Springfield.  I will do
the same thing for Journey on Thursday night.   I worked at the 
Merchandise tent for Boyz II Men and Smokey Robinson and had a 
nice view of the show.
 
I guess Brad Paisley is almost sold out.   I think Rick Springfield and
Journey will be a big seller.
 
There were 13,000 people at the Boyz II Men concert and about 
12,000 at Smokey Robinson.
 
I am amazed that little ole Muskegon has been able to have these 
concerts every year and bring in all kinds of artists, some the oldies
and some fairly new.
