A favorite of Westwood families, the 2011 Summer Concert Series returns Monday night to the Westwood Senior Center for four installments of summertime entertainment. 

Kicking off on Monday and taking place each Monday night until August 1, the series this year welcomes returning performers as well as new children's entertainers. 

"These concerts are really fun," said Erica Rice, a volunteer with the Westwood Young Women's Club and Senior Vice President/Manager at Coldwell Banker in Westwood. "The kids come and dance, people have picnics on the Senior Center lawn. The last two concerts are really geared for young kids, but they are all a fun way to spend a Monday night in Westwood. When the kids are tired of dancing, they like to go play on the tot lot."

The events, which are sponsored by the Westwood Young Women's Club and sponsored by the Westwood Recreation Department, include pizza for purchase, courtesy of Westwood Pizza.
