LAKEPORT – The first of the annual Lakeport Summer Concerts at Library Park began on Friday.

Kicking off the season was Memphis Exchange, a band with local roots that plays country, rock and blues.

Several hundred people gathered in the park to enjoy the music and dance.

On June 19, rock/blues band Chicken and the Defenders will play, with local favorites Bill Noteman and the Rockets featured on June 26.
