MT. MORRIS — The Mt. Morris Jamboree will welcome back 60's tribute band, SHiNDiG! for their performance at its band shell on Aug. 16 starting at 7 p.m. SHiNDiG! presents a tribute to the 60's and always delivers a trip back to the greatest and most diverse decade of rock and roll music. Covering over 90 different bands from that period of time where music told the story of an entire generation - early 60's, British invasion, psychedelic, pop, girl groups, Woodstock...are all part of the show! Everyone fortunate to see their performances here in years past will readily attest to the excitement this band brings to the stage.
The Mt. Morris Senior and Community Center will be serving hamburgers, hot dogs, brats with all the fixings, along with chips and drinks.
Just 4 Fun Ice Cream and Bill's Famous Lemonade will be there, too. All starting at 6 p.m. Ewe and Me Acres will have a fresh produce stand with a variety of fruits, vegetables, baked goods, jams, jellies and dog treats on the Campus along with other craft and plant vendors, from 5-8 p.m.
Other attractions will be available on either side of the bandshell during the concert. Encore's Old Sandstone Art Gallery will feature a show and the new location of the Mt. Morris Historical Museum will also be open in the newly renovated College Hall.
Please bring a blanket or chair, or enjoy the new benches and join the fun on our beautiful, historic campus in the center of Mt. Morris, two blocks south of Illinois Route 64 on Wesley Avenue and enjoy the free 60's tribute concert.
