The Blacklites would like to thank Mary Nelson for inviting us to be a part of her annual Youth Day BBQ on Saturday, August 21, 2010.  The Blacklites were the headline performers following a talented line up of performers throughout the day.  The event took place on the corner of South Salina Street and Wood Avenue on Syracuse's South Side.  We thank everyone for coming out to support Mary Nelson and the kids!  The Blacklites are thankful for Mary Nelson and her tireless work for the youth of Syracuse.  She is an angel....she's our angel...
