CITY, ND – (NewsDakota.com) The historic 1931 City Park Bandshell damaged from flooding events in 2009 and 2011 is back and ready for entertainment.

A community wide effort raised money to move the band shell onto a new foundation a few feet north.

A Carrington, North Dakota house moving company lifted the structure and placed it onto a new foundation one year ago.

On July 15 the first music concert was held in the City Park Band Shell since 2008. The group Dakota Gospel from Valley City received smile and applause as the sang “Back in the Bandshell Again” from that old song “Back in the Saddle Again.”

On July 22 Monroe Crossing will be entertaining the crowd in the City Park Bandshell at 7:15pm. Here are a few highlights of the first concert in the City Park Bandshell.

This is what the structure look like on July 23 2014 after it was removed from the original foundation.
