Mangano Welcomes Gin Blossoms And Spin Doctors To Eisenhower Park On Friday, July 22nd

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano has announced the appearance of the Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors at Eisenhower Park’s Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in East Meadow on Friday, July 22, 2011. Admission is free. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m.

The Spin Doctors’ popular 90’s hits included “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and “Two Princes.” The Gin Blossoms had mega hits “Hey Jealousy,” “Found Out About You” and “Til I Hear It From You,” followed by “Mrs. Rita,” “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away.” Their album New Miserable Experience sold nearly 3 million copies in the United States alone.

“I invite everyone to ‘beat the heat’ on Friday night at Eisenhower Park, and enjoy great music by the Spin Doctors and the Gin Blossoms,” said County Executive Mangano.

Much of the programming at the Lakeside Theatre is made possible through the Nassau County Hotel/Motel Proceeds Grant, which are proceeds from taxes on hotel and motel rooms in Nassau County. Since 2006, Nassau County has received more than ten million dollars from the Hotel/Motel Proceeds Grant, which also has assisted in historic building restoration and other cultural enhancements.

The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre is located near parking fields 6 and 6A in Eisenhower Park. Special accommodations are available for disabled patrons, including reserved parking, easily accessible restrooms, and a convenient reserved location on the hill. Assistive hearing devices are available for the hearing impaired. There is no formal seating at Lakeside Theatre, so concertgoers are urged to bring folding chairs. If weather conditions are doubtful, call (516) 572-0355 after 7:00 p.m. for updated performance information.

Eisenhower Park, operated by the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums, is located in East Meadow, with entrances on Hempstead Turnpike and Merrick Avenue.
