Other than the haze from Western forest fire smoke, you couldn’t ask for a more perfect day, according to Arnprior Recreation Director Graeme Ivory, (who says his Department only asks Mother Nature for four perfect days every year… but later changed his mind). https://media-cdn.socastsrm.com/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir/2121/files/2025/06/june-9-graeme-ivory-priorpalooza-1.mp3Concerts in the Park began Sunday.
