(Beaver, PA) An unusually warm late November evening drew an estimated crowd of more than three thousand people into downtown Beaver for the annual light up night festivities. The event was coordinated by the Beaver Area Chamber Of Commerce and in addition to various merchant shopping specials, it featured live music, Horse drawn carriage rides, train rides, and, of course, Fireworks to conclude the festivities at 9 PM.
Beaver County Radio, WBVP and WMBA, were at Light Up Night as Frank Sparks, Pat Septak and Ed Hermick hosted a live broadcast from near the main stage on College Avenue. The Beaver High School Chorus, Valentina Cherico, Rick Gilbert, The Maybrayz, Donna Groom and The Voices entertained the crowd with Holiday and traditional favorite tunes throughout the evening. Here is a recording of Rudy Zetz, from The Voices, singing a stirring rendition of “Oh Holy Night” live at the event:
