Danville Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. wants to cheer-up people during the coronavirus emergency, so he has announced ‘Fantastic Fridays’ that will run all this month. He says they will give people something to watch on Facebook – live starting at 8:00 p.m. each Friday.
The first ‘Fantastic Friday’ event the mayor will host tonight (April 3, 2020) will feature local comedian Christopher Hightower. Hightower has performed in Chicago and on the Steve Harvey Show.
Mayor Williams says other Fantastic Friday Watch Parties will include focusing on Good Friday on April 10th, a live dance party on April 17th, and a country and western/rock live concert on April 24th that the mayor says viewers can enjoy right from their living room.
For the dance party Mayor Williams says viewers will be able to submit requests for the type of music they want to dance at home. And he adds the Good Friday event will focus on giving everyone a little hope during these trying times.
Mayor Williams announced plans for the ‘Fantastic Friday’ events late last night on Facebook.
