Fifer Courtroom on the 2nd floor of the Museum. The Museum is very fortunate to host Mr. Phillips as he has cut his travelling schedule considerably. Utah is an American icon. He performed for a sell out crowd here at the Museum in 2006. Fans drove in from as far as Michigan and Indiana to see him play, sing and tell stories of hobos, the railroad, the working man and civil disobedience. Young and old alike clamor to the stage in delight of his wit and wonder. Tickets will be sold the night of the show on a first come first serve basis so plan to arrive early for the performance. This concert is co-sponsored by Vitesse Cycle and Russell Francois Architects Cost: $20.00 at the door. Old House Society Foundation Open House - $10 per person includes wine and appestizers. Mail check to Old House Society Foundation P.O. Box 581, Bloomington IL 61702-0581. Questions? call 309-820-0548. Home of John and Virginia Gill. Riders in the Sky Concert - Return to the exciting days of cowboys and lariats with Riders in the Sky as they salute the 100th anniversary of Gene Autry. Part of a year-long celebration, the Riders lend their wit and harmonies to the classic songs that made America’s original Singing Cowboy famous, including “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” “South of the Border,” and “Back in the Saddle Again.” Loved for their music in Toy Story 2, Riders in the Sky was voted Western Group of the Year in 2006. This is the perfect show for young and old. | ||||||
