The Rotary Club of Townsend’s first 2024 Slice of Summer family fun event will be held on Thursday, July 18 in Heritage Fun Park.
Slice of Summer includes Youth Activities that run from 2:00-5:00 pm and Family Activities that run from 5:00-8:00 pm. Rotary is paying for free youth swimming from 1-4 and 6-8 pm. Other youth activities will include a free bouncy house, face painting, and/or tattoos, games, etc. Family activities include free musical entertainment and reasonably priced food and drink. Food and drinks will be served by Rotary, Interact, and the Lions starting mid-afternoon for families through 8 pm. Live music begins at 5 pm and goes to 8 pm.
Live music for the July Slice of Summer will feature Phatt Lipp. Phatt Lipp is a three-piece band from Canyon Ferry Montana featuring Dave Ohler on guitar and vocals, Dan Corbett on bass and vocals, and Mary Tripp on percussion and vocals. Dave and Dan were the founding members of Gramaphatt, a high-energy rock and roll dance band that played throughout western Montana for 20 years, and Mary performed off and on with the band over the years. Gramaphatt disbanded in 2020 and reincarnated as Phatt Lipp in 2022.
Phatt Lipp is an acoustic trio featuring the vocals of Dave and Mary. The band plays an eclectic variety of music from bluegrass and country to old and new rock including original material. The band covers artists such as Johnny Cash, Zac Brown, Alison Kraus, Grateful Dead, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen, and Adele. Come and enjoy this wonderful free music provided by Rotary
Slice of Summer started after Broadwater County High School students mentioned in interviews for Rotary scholarships that Townsend needed some summer fun events for families like the Alive at Five event in Helena.
If you have any displays, events, or activities you would like to show off at Slice of Summer please let Rotary know.
Rotary needs some volunteers to help pull off this great family event. If you can help or if you have any questions, please call Patrick Plantenberg at 431-4615.
