Dear Friends of the
Roxbury Bandshell:
We can enjoy the entertainment of today while we
preserve yesterday's achievements for tomorrow's
generations.
That thought sums up the reasons why the historic
Roxbury Bandshell is important to the Johnstown
community. And it is the reason why I am writing this
appeal to you.
As President of the Roxbury Bandshell Preservation
Alliance, I am pleased to announce that the Pennsylvania
Historic and Museum Commission has approved a grant of
$85,000 to help us finish interior restoration work and
the exterior pointing of mortar at the Bandshell in
Roxbury Park. The application for the funding was made
through the Johnstown Redevelopment Authority.
There are conditions, however. In order to receive the
money, we must match the $85,000 with local
contributions.
The alliance has a 20-year lease with the City of
Johnstown because our volunteers and friends were
successful in restoring the roof and cleaning up the
Bandshell and the surrounding area as well as sponsoring
numerous entertainment events, such as the successful
summer concert series. We proved to the city that could
make it work.
The Bandshell was erected as a WPA project to help
Johnstown area residents recover from the Great
Depression of the 1930s. It is our history. That's why
it is important to all of us to preserve yesterday's
achievement--the building of the Bandshell—for us to
enjoy today. We never again can let it fall into ruin as
we did over the past few decades.
With the $85,000 in the state grant plus $85,000 we hope
to raise through local donations, we can enjoy a
renovated, delightful Bandshell and so will those who
are to follow us.
Please become a Friend of the Bandshell and send us your
donation today online using teh below donate button or
