Second Saturday Music

I look forward to Second Saturday Music every summer.  My family and I are planning on grabbing a to-go dinner from one of the Downtown eateries before heading over to the park where we'll settle in for a picnic waiting for the music to get started.  It's a fun mid-weekend activity for locals of all ages.  This year's line up looks incredible!  Here's who will be playing:

Saturday, May 14, 7:30pm – 9:00pm

The last concert of the season will feature Missouri musicians, Rick Reding and and the White River Music Company. White River Music Company was started by Rick Reding as an outlet for his original music, and to help other musicians in the Ozark Mountain region to have an outlet for their fine music and song creations. Recently, the band acted and performed in the Robert Redford Sundance film festival's Grand Jury prize-winning Oscar-nominated film, "Winter's Bone."
