Press Release, Orleans Renaissance Group

MEDINA – Inquiring minds want to know: will Blue Thursdays go on as scheduled tonight?

“Yes, we will be performing as scheduled,” said Ken Daluisio of The Print Shop in Medina, underwriters the music series. “Air quality has improved dramatically since yesterday, and all indications are from local weather meteorologists that it will continue to improve as the day goes on.”

Yesterday, Canadian wildfires caused visibly poor air quality across WNY that actually smelled of wood burning and produced a heavy haze. People were advised to limit outdoor activities.

“Wednesday was discernably bad,” said Chris Busch of medinaalive.com and co-producer of Blue Thursdays. “There’s a little haze today but nothing like what we experienced yesterday. No wood burning smell.  Rochester weather predicts it clearing as the day progresses. That said, if you feel uncomfortable coming, you should do what’s best for you.”

The show with Bill Schmitt & the Bluesmasters begins at 6 p.m. at State Street Park in Medina. Numerous food and beverage vendors will be on hand. The event is free and open to the public.
