Mayor Listenberger presents Key-to-the-City to former mayor Mark Senter

Plymouth Mayor Robert Listenberger welcomed over 1,000 visitors to River Park Square Friday evening for the first of ten free concerts for the Mayor’s Summer of Music series. 

Before introducing the band the mayor took time to thank former mayor Mark Senter for creating River Park Square and starting the free concert series.  Mayor Listenberger surprised Senter inviting him up front on the Senter Stage and honoring him with a key to the city.

Mayor Listenberger read a proclamation which follows:
