My mistake….Of course! It was Southside at the concert last year. I guess my memory was warped by the incredible number of Hermits fans who flooded the site with tributes to Peter Noone.
In any case, I hope you enjoy this year’s show.

Peter Noone’s Herman’s Hermits will be performing for the second year in a row at the town’s Celebration of Liberty and Pride, an early take on July 4th festivities.
This site was jammed a year ago when the town chose Herman’s Hermits over Southside Johnny, with fans of each band rallying to support their favorite.
In any event, the Hermits must have wowed the crowd last year to warrant a return performance…Sorry Southside Johnny fans.
The program will be at Rockland Community College, where the gates open at 5:30 p.m. Sky divers will entertain at 7:30 p.m., followed by the Hermits concert at 8 p.m. A fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m.

The CSEA’s regional health and safety inspector is due to evaluate Suffern Village Hall for a potential mold infestation on Friday.
A representative of the Rockland Department of Health was likely to be present at the time, Mayor John Keegan said this week.
One employee has complained of nasal issues that may or may not be attributable to the presence of mold, and detectors found that there was some in the air. The extent of the presence, its source, and the type of mold were issues to be investigated.
The Village Hall remains open, and Keegan said he knew of no other employees experiencing symptoms.

The Rockland County Republican Committee holds its convention at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Nyack Seaport, 21 Burd St., said the party’s chairman, Vincent Reda.
The party is expected to nominate incumbent County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef, who is seeking his fifth four-year term. Vanderhoef, 60, has served since 1994. 
Last week, county Democrats endorsed Thom Kleiner, 50, as their party’s choice for the county executive’s seat. He has served as Orangetown supervisor since 1997 and is in his seventh two-year term.
The Dems also nominated incumbent Paul Piperato for the County Clerk’s post, which he has held since 2005.
No word yet on whether the GOP will run a candidate against Piperato, who is popular with constituents on both sides of the aisle.
Right, C. Scott Vanderhoef
