City of Casselberry Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting—September 12, 2023 6. Staff Reports Linda Moore, Recreation Manager, shared The Georgia Thunderbolts headlined the free Rock N' Blues Concert and Car Show on Memorial weekend. More than 150 classic cars, muscle cars, and hot rods showed up for car enthusiasts to enjoy. The City honored all veterans for their service with a color guard display and plaque. During the summer months we themed our food truck events with June's being a Bubble Blast, which was very well attended and especially enjoyed by the kids.

The event concluded with a free cookout with hot dogs provided by Friends of the Park.
