The "INVASION" Of Parma

Purses made from vintage 45's.

The first British Invasion began on April 18, 1775 when General Gage ordered 700 British soldiers to Concord to destroy the colonists' weapons depot. That night, Paul Revere and William Dawes were sent from Boston to warn colonists. Revere reached Lexington about midnight and warned Sam Adams and John Hancock who were hiding out there. Eventually the British were defeated.

The second British Invasion was to happen nearly 184 years afterward when The Beatles arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Feb. 7, 1964. But the most successful British Invasion occurred recently right here in Parma when the Liverpool Lads (Beatles) and Jumpin’ Jack Flash (Rolling Stones) performed at the latest Friends of Parma Theater event, in partnership with UAW 1005 and held at the UAW hall in Parma on February 8, 2014. Hundreds of “Friends” new and old were in attendance at this fun-filled Rockin’ and Rollin’ extravaganza.

Thanks to all who supported and contributed to this event including the UAW, Ganley Chevrolet, Clear Channel, IATSE Local 160, all of the local businesses that allowed us to put up posters and flyers, and members of the media that helped spread the word. Also, thanks to the vendors who came out with an interesting variety of products ranging from vintage clothing, to art to purses made using old 45 RPM records. An excellent time was had by all and there will surely be more events like this in the months to come. So, keep your eyes and ears open and be sure to follow the Friends Of Parma Theater on Facebook. facebook.com/FriendsOfParmaTheater
