RICk lARRIMoRE (A Tribute to Rod Stewart) Saturday, July 5 (7:30 to 8:30 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m.)

Mis B’Havin brings to the party a wide variety of music from the last forty years: U2, Deep Purple, the Doors, Kelly Clarkson, Heart, Alaynah Myles, Pat Benatar, among others. One thing for sure, you will have a blast misbehaving with Mis B’ Havin.

This event is co-sponsored by First Commonwealth Bank.

Saturday evening, July 5th, "Rick Larrimore" Co-Sponsored by Walston Club. (l. to r.) Stephenia Burkett (Walston Club), Peg Henninger (GFC) and Shelly Fait (Walston Club).

This show is an exciting, unique stage show guaranteed to dazzle and entertain audiences every time! Performing hits such as: “Forever Young,” “Maggie May,” “Have I Told You Lately?” and many more, Rick covers the rock legend’s entire career from his early years, through the disco ’80s, to great American classics! With enthusiastic and energetic performances, Rick’s show is as close to a genuine Rod Stewart concert as you could imagine! (www.ricklarrimore.com) This event is co-sponsored by Walston Club.
