Black Hawk Folk Society has canceled its February, March, and April Second Saturday concerts. Please stay healthy and mark your calendars for our just-around-the-calendar corner outdoor concert schedule: Ariane Lydon, Saturday, May 14 and Steve Hazell, Saturday, June 11, both at 2 p.m. These concerts will be followed by Black Hawk’s day-long festival on Saturday, July 9. All three events will be held in beautiful lakeside Mt. Morris Town Park. Also, the much-loved Thursday “Pickin’ at the Post” afternoon sessions at Mt. Morris Trading Post Bar & Grill are taking a little winter break. Uncertain and sometimes difficult weather and travel conditions, snowbirds who’ve packed up their instruments and headed south, along with “keep everyone healthy concerns” prompted this decision. Of course, anyone is welcome to pop in and share a few tunes, but the Black Hawk Folk Society musicians won’t be there to provide the musical infrastructure. We promise to share updates and spread the word when the sessions reconvene — probably in April! Also, if you check Black Hawk’s website and Facebook page, you’ll find streaming suggestions to help you meet your minimum daily requirements for music, folk and otherwise. |
