Blues on the Red music series continues


The Greater Grand Forks Convention & Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce the second of the 2009 Blues on the Red music series Saturday, July 25, from 5 to 10 p.m., in Town Square, with two exciting acts from out of town: Cool Disposition (headliner) and Dee Miller Band (feature).

The event, co-sponsored by the City of Grand Forks, the CVB and Canad Inns Destination Center, is in its second year, and with the addition of a third date and new entertainment, it promises to be even better than the inaugural year. The music will get rolling at 5 p.m. and last until 10 p.m., and admission is free to all. Lawn chairs welcome; concessions available.

The last of the 2009 Blues series will be held August 22, with Jimi ‘Prime Time’ Smith with Barbara LeShoure as the headliner and Eddie Rickert & Blue Voodoo as the feature.

The first Blues on the Red was held August 9, 2008, with well over 600 people convening in Town Square. Highlights from the event can be found by logging on to the CVB’s website at www.visitgrandforks.com and clicking on Videos. A second event was held on September 20, 2008.

The local planning committee consists of Cheri Reitmeier, Town Square Farmer’s Market; Greg Hoover, Urban Development; Ben Klipfel, UND; Mark Landa; and Julie Rygg, Deb Stewart and James Feist, all of the CVB.
