Village Green Concert Hits a High Note



By Jenn Taylor, CRPD Recreation Coordinator

Families brought their blankets, favorite dinner picnic foods and dancing shoes for a great night out at the recent concert in Village Green Park. The Nicole Hodson Quartet performed during the Village Green’s inaugural concert sponsored by Cordova Recreation & Park District and Procida Landscape. With Nicole’s sultry voice, husband Tim’s gifted drumming, John’s tantalizing keyboards, and a host of outstanding jazz musicians, this group dazzled audiences at the Village Green Park in Rancho Cordova. Families commented on the fun atmosphere and welcoming environment with one couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the event stating, “I have been to music in the park events for many years and have never had such a lovely time.” This was truly an intergenerational affair with many families and extended families present sharing picnic dinners and listening to great music.
