SHARON CENTER – Approximately 250 people were on hand July 12 at Sharon Circle Park to hear the Charita Franks Band, a group of professional musicians from northeast Ohio. This pop/rock band plays all genres of music, such as Motown, jazz, blues, country, rock n roll and soul.

Lead vocalist Charita Franks is well-known as a “high energy performer, who is passionate about her music.” She did not disappoint, as she sang “At Last,” “Crazy,” “Happy,” “Spooky,” and many others. The rest of the band members are Anthony Watson, Sr., drums; Chris Conway, bass; Joe Leaman, keyboard, and Dennis Vargo, guitar.

The Sharon Women’s Club served root beer floats for a donation.

Next event
Mark your calendars for July 26 at 7 p.m. when the Corn Potato String Band, a trio of musicians that plays traditional roots, bluegrass and Appalachian folk music, will perform at the next free concert in Sharon Circle Park. This group is an award-winning band that tours the entire United States.

Organizer Jane Back called this coming event “a must-see concert.” She suggested bringing a lawn chair or blanket. In case of inclement weather, the program will move to the town hall.

Sharon Girl Scout Troop 90233 will provide refreshments for a donation.
