Junction City caught the eastern edge of a larger storm Thursday night that dropped some light rain on Sundown Salute, but not enough to delay or postpone any of the concerts.
Sharon Glessner, Sundown Salute Director explained that the rain would have had to
been harder in order for them to take any action.
“As long as the rain isn’t like a downpour, we’re still good to go,” said Glessner. “If we get a lot of wind and rain we will have to lower the the canopy on the stage and wait until that’s over with. If there’s lightning we would have to cancel the show.”
The weather didn’t stop the show but it may have stopped some people from turning out for last night’s concerts as the crowd size was down from what was expected.
“So far I think it’s a little down from what we thought it probably should be tonight. I think that maybe the potential weather impacted it a little bit, but we still had a really great crowd out here and I think it’ll just get bigger every night.”
Friday nights lineup includes three tribute bands to three classic rock artists. Hitting the stage at 6:30 p.m. will be American Fool- Tribute to John Mellencamp, followed by Satisfaction- Tribute to the Rolling Stones at 7:45 p.m. and at 9:00 p.m. Revelation- Tribute to Journey will take the stage.
