A Summer of Music

6/8/2018

0 Comments

 
It won’t be long before music is filling the Hormel Historic Home Peace Garden.  In fact, the way the sound bounces off the side of the house, the music often fills more of downtown than just the garden.  And, if the weather threatens us, the show will go on and music will fill the event center.  We are grateful to be able to offer musical events for the community to enjoy.  They bring people together with the goal to entertain and enrich people’s lives. 

I like how LZ Granderson, American journalist, describes the experience of live music.  “Complete strangers can stand silent next to each other in an elevator and not even look each other in the eye. But at a concert, those same strangers could find themselves dancing and singing together like best friends. That's the power of music.”
Mark your calendars to attend the following events and turn a stranger into a friend.  All are free with the exception of the instrument making workshop for children on July 17.

Friday, June 15 - Summer Music Kick Off Happy Hour with JCA (Jamie Braaten and Cody Yost, formerly of SEEDS)
5-7 p.m. Local favorite in an acoustic show featuring country and rock favorites as well as some fresh originals.

Tuesday, June 19  Tricia and The Toonies- The Happy Days Show 
2:30 p.m. Koncert for Kids inside the event center.  Followed by cookies sponsored by the Spam Museum.  6:30 p.m. Peace Garden Concert Music that brings all ages together in fun and dancing with great music and laughter.  Think the Shimmy, the Twist, the Swim and the Pony.
