What a great night. Thanks to all who make this happen. Parking, shuttle rides, golf carts, food, arts and the gathering of people. Thank you Willmar.
Check out this cool drone footage from last week's Fleetwood Mac tribute concert with Pamela McNeill! Thanks to the Willmar Police Department for taking the footage and allowing us to use it. Best guesstimate for last week's crowd size is about 3,000. Can we beat it this week for Rockin' Robbins - Big Toe and the Jam? The weather looks perfect, so make sure you get there early and get a good spot for opening act The Hit List at 5 PM, sponsored by Mills Ford Chrysler of Willmar.
