The official end to summer — the September equinox — is here. With warm weather forecast for this weekend, there’s time to enjoy a few more days of fun and sun before chilly nights and falling leaves arrive.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive
The classic rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive will bring its music to the Palace Theatre on Sunday. Hits such as “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” and “Takin’ Care of Business” still have a lasting impact with plenty of play on classic rock radio stations.
The show will be held at the theater, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. Music will start at 7 p.m. . Tickets range from $78 to $170. Get all the info and tickets at thepalacetheatre.org.
