Sweet Summer Music

by Lori Hall
Music sets the scene for summer fun. On Thursdays at 8 p.m., area residents gather at the Palo Alto County Courthouse Square to enjoy the Emmetsburg Municipal Band Concerts. The Municipal Band will play three more Thursday evening concerts—June 18, June 25, and July 2—before wrapping up their season with a final concert on the Fourth of July at Soper Park. Last Sunday, the Tenth Annual Gospel Songfest was held on the grounds of the Grotto of the Redemption in West Bend. Many attended to hear the music of three gospel groups.
