The 25th annual “Liberty Extravaganza,” which includes a concert of all-American music and an audience sing-along of patriotic songs, will be held at 7:30 p.m. July 7 at the First Presbyterian Church (Tower Hill), 255 Harding Road, Red Bank.
The concert will be preceded by a strawberry festival, children’s fair, and music by the Dixieland band Hot Taters at 5 p.m.
The concert will feature music by the Liberty Choir, soloists and a brass ensemble. The choir is made up of choral singers from the church and community. Popular features will include patriotic favorites, gospel songs and audience sing-alongs to standards such as “Yankee Doodle” and “God Bless America.” There will also be a salute to the armed forces, including a military color guard and the raising of the flag.
The concert is free, but early arrival is advised. An offering will be taken with a portion benefiting Operation P.E.N.C.I.L, a charity created by American servicemen and women in Afghanistan, which provides school supplies for Afghan children and their families. A homemade strawberry dessert will be available for $5.
