Eleven years have softened some of the edges of the raw images of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on American soil. But remembering that day, and the lives lost on what is perhaps one of the darkest days in American history, still causes people to brush away tears and choke up while talking about their memories. It is that very need to continue healing and continue to share fellowship that inspires Dundalk community leaders to hold an annual Sept. 11 Remembrance Ceremony. This year's event was Tuesday night at Heritage Park. Sponsored by the Dundalk Heritage Parade Committee, the event uses music, prayer and reflection to pay respects to those who lost their lives, to honor those who stepped forward to help that day, and to thank …

The summer's final concert begins at 6:30 p.m. at Heritage Park.
Dundalk's Concerts in the Park series will close for the summer tonight with a performance by Impulse. The music will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the gazebo at Heritage Park in downtown Dundalk. Impulse is a variety band that plays music from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. The band was originally scheduled to perform on Aug. 9 but the concert was rained out. Because of the band's popularity in Dundalk, concert organizer Angel Ball asked Impulse members if they would be able to reschedule. That collaborative effort to provide free music to the Dundalk community resulted in one more chance for neighbors to get out their lawn chairs and blankets, pack a picnic dinner and gather as a community again. Vendors will have food available for purchase if …

Movies in the Park series continues with "Big Miracle."
Heritage Park takes on many roles in the Dundalk community — it's home of the famous Heritage Fair, a popular village green, a great place to relax and read a book or meet a friend, a tree grove that's home to many birds and small animals and a concert venue. Tonight, the tiny Baltimore County park turns into an outdoor movie theater with the screening of Big Miracle, a film based on a true story about the rescue of a group of whales that became trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. The movie, which is free, starts at 8 p.m. Big Miracle will be shown on a big screen to the left of the Heritage Park gazebo (the Shipway side of the park). Dundalk-Eastfield Recreation Council football volunteers will sell hotdogs, popcorn and …

The 2012 Dundalk Concerts in the Park series was supposed to conclude tonight with an appearance by the 229th Army rock ensemble Live Fire.

So music lovers tonight can enjoy the tunes of the renowned Army band with the promise of one more summer concert to be enjoyed in the village green with friends new and old. Tonight's concert begins at 6:30 p.m. at the gazebo in Heritage Park on Trading Place in downtown Dundalk. The free series is sponsored by the Dundalk-Eastfield …
