Fort Erie Race Track is gearing up for start of its 125th racing season on May 31 and there’s something for everyone/
“We’re celebrating our 125th racing season with a free opening day T-Shirt giveaway to the first 2,000 fans with program purchase,” said the track, which opened way back on June 16, 1897.
First race post time is 4:05 p.m., then “the fun continues when (Niagara-based band) Jonesy hits the stage at the Tiki Bar.”
Jonesy, together since St. Patrick Day 2004, are huge local favourites with their fun, rock-forward, get-em-on-their-feet style. Think The Killers meet Coldplay meet U2. Scott Neilson, the powerhouse singer who many have compared to U2’s Bono, has shared the stage with big-name acts like Bryan Adams.
Local Niagara favourites, Jonesy, will perform at Fort Erie Race Track’s 125th season opening on May 31.
