A Little Something Extra

by Shannon Neumeyer, marketing & communications intern

The year is 1990.  I was two years old, soon to be three.  We drove the slightly long drive to Connor Prairie to see a Symphony on the Prairie concert for the evening.  I was so excited to go and my favorite thing to do was run down the hills as soon as we got there.  It was warm and bright, and I watched as many other people arrived.  I was happy to see lots of other kids I could play with as the concert was going on.  We brought a blanket, food and lots of toys so I could play with my sister.  The music was pretty and I sat on my mom’s lap while watching the people play on the big stage.  Soon, it got dark and it made the stage light up.  As the concert ended, I was thrilled as I saw balloons being released into the air.  It was definitely an unforgettable evening with the symphony.
