Seneca wraps Jazz with Candy, Bounces and Music

The final night of the season for Jazz on the Alley fell on Halloween, so the City of Seneca combined the events, allowing young and old alike to celebrate.  At 5pm, trick-or-treaters were already wrapped around the parking lot of Norton-Thompson Park in downtown Seneca for Halloween on the Green.  Seneca Mayor Dan Alexander was happy to see so many kids safely trick-or-treating in the downtown park.  “Really one of the bigger crowds I think I have ever seen at the Halloween.  You know we had Jazz on the Alley sort of running with it and just a great turnout of customs on the kids, I think they were the best I have ever seen them.  There were airplanes flying around and all kinds of good stuff.” After the candy was gone, kids and their parents had dinner on Ram Cat Alley to enjoy a night of Jazz.  The city’s Jazz on the Alley concluded another successful season Thursday night.  The free street concert from 6:30pm to 9pm, Thursday nights, April thru October, seems to grow in popularity each week, adds Mayor Alexander.  “It definitely was a great year.  This year’s Jazz on the Alley we had a lot of different, new groups here along with the entertainment that we have had the last several years.  We are just very fortunate we have been able to the quality of people we have here to entertain on Thursday nights.  Jazz on the Alley this year was just phenomenal.” To see pictures from Halloween on the Green or the season of Jazz on the Alley, visit the city’s website at www.seneca.sc.us.
