2017 Beaver Light Up Night!

It was cool, but not freezing; a perfect night to kick off the holiday season. And the citizens of Beaver and surrounding areas did just that with the annual Light Up Night on Third Street. Beaver Light Up Night was coordinated by The Beaver Area Chamber Of Commerce.

While Pat Septak and Matt Drzik were busy on the prize wheel, the night air was filled with the sights and sounds of the Christmas joy that brought out hundreds of people to the County Seat town of Beaver.

Janet Falotico, one of “The Voices” with “Rudy Zetz and Voices”, entertains the capacity crowd in Beaver on Friday night.

A stunning  line up of local performers entertained at the main stage in town, including Rudy Zetz and Voices, Jamie Laughlin, Rick Gilbert, Valentina Cherrico and The Maybrayz among others. NASCAR radio announcer Mike Lysakowski served as Master Of Ceremonies again this year.  Beaver County Radio recorded the concert again this year and will be playing back selections throughout the holiday season and during “Christmas Music ‘Round The Clock” December 24-26, 2017.

Here is a recording of “White Christmas” as performed  by Rudy Zetz, Janet Falotico, Jamie Laughlin and Sharon Gray at Friday night’s event in Beaver:
