The sidewalk in the vicinity of the Riviera Theatre was one of the gathering spots for Three Rivers High School alumni from the Sixties Friday evening.
Despite a period of wind-driven heavy rain, Historic Downtown Three Rivers was a busy spot Friday evening (July 23rd) with the synergy of two simultaneous events – Three Rivers High School class reunion activity and an ‘Art & Music Hop.’
The ‘Class of 1965’ – hitting the 45-year mark since graduation – extended an “invitation to Downtown Three Rivers . . . for an evening of social time with the classes of 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, & 1969..” The invitation included a suggestion to “Visit the Riviera Theatre, our local merchants, & enjoy Three Rivers’ own classic cars.”
Christi Misner was among the Three Rivers Artists Guild members who participated in the Art & Music Hop. Her works remain on display at Paisano's.
Art and music were to be found at a number of locations in the downtown area throughout the evening and Mike King was on hand with his Weenie Kings hot dog cart near the Mural Mall.

The 'Memories on Main' shirts at Fabrications by design, inc. capture well the era of the Sixties and the spirit of the activities Friday evening.
The Carnegie Center for the Arts hosted both art and music during the Art & Music Hop.
Here's but one of the groups that got together Friday evening in downtown Three Rivers - in this case, at Paisano's.

Wonderful coverage, thanks!

I’m so glad the first TR art hop came together, after so many have talked about doing one for years. I’d say it was a great success!
A great time was had by all. So wonderful to see 3Rivers getting into the art and music scene more and more. Let’s do it again real soon!
What fun! So many people downtown enjoying themselves on a beautiful summer night…it was a real festival! The Three Rivers Artists Guild is grateful to the Downtown Merchants for bringing the Music and Art Hop into being. We very much appreciate them for the opportunity to bring our art to the people of T.R. and to show off our cool town. T.R. rocks!
My son and I had a nice dinner at Paisano’s. It was nice to see so many people having a good time. I must say that it was a pleasure to have a bit of trouble finding a parking space downtown last Friday. Many thanks to the organizers of the Art Hop. I hope it becomes a regular event.
The first 3 Rivers Art Hop brought people into downtown businesses they had not previously visited. With a little more organization and a lot more advertising future Hops will be tremendous successes for the participating artists and the business owners who host them. Keep on Hopping.
