“Tea” Allen, a 22-year-old Mansfield St. Peter’s graduate, opened the festivities by playing some of her own songs, along with a group of covers.
She was followed by Sweet Umbra, which features three friends who all graduated from Clear Fork. The group mixed a few of its own songs with popular covers from the 60’s to today.

The evening concluded with the featured attraction Red Ball Jets taking the stage as darkness fell.
The popular Mansfield band, which has been in existence since 1996, cranked out a bevy of cover songs and was greeted by a group that moved toward the stage to dance.
Final Friday was hosted by local disc jockey Tommy Barnes and included food truck vendors and free rides from the Richland County Transit bus service.
The next Final Friday will be on Aug. 30.
