<p>Tickets are now available via our PayPal link for the April 28,2012 (Noon till 8:00PM Central Time) Jazz/Blues fest featuring <strong>City Lights Band, Elwood Splinters Blues Band, Steve and Mary Show and The Whistlepigs</strong>.</p>
<p>Through March 17th prices are reduced 25% to $7.50. After that date online purchase and at the gate (cash only) price will be $10.00. No credit card purchase available at gate on festival day.</p>
<p><strong>As stated earlier, this is a “RAIN OR SHINE” event.  A huge tent will be erected, but you will need to bring your own blankets and/or folding chairs.  Please no chaise lounges or benches. We will have food and beverage vendors on site — therefore coolers will not be allowed.  Due to the large attendance expected we cannot allow dogs (other than service animals) for these festivals.</strong></p>
