Friends of Monument Valley Park
Summer
Summer is the busiest time for the park, with dozens of organized events and thousands of individual park visitors. FMVP's main event this summer for the fourth year in a row will be Musical Mondays in the Park. .
Musical Mondays July 2011
This year we scheduled three concerts:
July 11: B.U.S.: Joe Uveges, Braithwaite, Sokol
July 18: J. Miller Band
July 25: The Mitguards
Unfortunately the July 25th was rained out--the first rainout ever!
We all "caught" the BUS on July 11 with Joe and his friends.
And the J. Miller Band had everyone tapping their toes on July 18

Musical Mondays July 2010
This year we were able to hold only two concerts, but what we lacked in number we more than made up for in quality. July 12 we had Phil Volan and Joleen Bell. The weather was perfect! Here's a clip of Phil and Joleen performing one of their favorites.
On July 19 FMVP celebrated its tenth anniversary. We served cake to everyone who attended, and Joe Uveges and Friends made it a very special night. You can witness the festive mood everyone was in with the following clip.
We're including some photos of the crowd--babies, dogs, moms, dads, grandparents--everyone thoroughly enjoyed the concerts.

Musical Mondays July 2009
We had both returning and first-time musicians. The crowds came and enjoyed the beautiful evening and the setting on the expansive lawn to the west of the Fine Arts Center.

Musical Mondays July 2008
We really didn't know what sort of turnout we would have last year, so we were pleasantly surprised when Musical Mondays attracted over 200 people to each of the four concerts. Parents, kids and pets all enjoyed the beautiful location and the great music!
