Lots of water, light clothing and finding that nice shady tree to lay under were all ways to beat the heat at tonight's (Wednesday) Summertime By George.

The annual St. Cloud summer concert series is set to kick off another year. Summertime by George begins it's fifth year of music, food and fun tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

Summer is right around corner and this year's music line up for Summertime By George has been announced by the St. Cloud Rotary Club.
