"The concert series, organized each year by the Township Council's Cultural Arts Committee, lost its funding in April due to budget cuts"

"Councilman Kevin glover resuscitated the project by snagging sponsorships from four companies that serve the community: PNC Bank, Family Investors Company, Beckerman and Company insurance, and Patch.com."

"It sounds good, but it all depends on [their] participation," Malool said. "Will they do it? That's the big unknown."

In an earlier news article, Malool was quoted saying "I think it's kind of a luxury that is one of the first things to go."  Despite Mayor Malool's skepticism, the summer concert series lived on and was a resounding success.    

Ultimately additional contributors chipped in including, Investors Savings BankJohn's Meat Market (voted the number one market in the State) and The Scotch Plains Management Corporation and together made it possible for this rich tradition to continue.
