Dallas Post · July 17, 2018

DALLAS — The Back Mountain Chamber’s Cultural Event Committee will hold its sixth annual cultural event on Friday, Aug. 31, at The Beaumont Inn’s Grande Pavilion.

The chamber is excited to bring the Esteem Allstars band to provide a true Motown experience in the Back Mountain.

“The purpose of our committee is to provide a quality cultural event in the Back Mountain that normally wouldn’t be here,” Sandy Race, co-chair of the event said in an emailed news release. “This year’s band is sure to be a hit and provide a cultural experience from the Motown era.”

Tickets are $65 each and include entertainment, food, desserts, beer, wine and soda throughout the evening. Tickets are available at www.backmountainchamber.org and also at the Gallery of Sound on Mundy Street in Wilkes-Barre. Tables of 10 may be reserved.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and entertainment is from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

The Cultural Event Committee will honor The Hanson Family for its years of entertainment at the Hanson Amusement Park at Harveys Lake. A basket raffle table will support the Back Mountain Regional Fire & Emergency Medical Services.
