These days in Elkhart, you can almost hear a collective SIGH as the dog days of August get even doggier with the ongoing saga of lost jobs and worry about the state of the local economy.
Being that I am a certified Pollyanna, I say that yes, it is hard to stay positive with the constant stream of bad news, BUT even if you can't afford a vacation this year, you can plan to attend the Elkhart Island of Blues Festival that will be taking place August 23,2008 at Island Park at the north end of Main Street and Beardsley Av. on the Elkhart River.
Last years festival was a great success, entertaining 4,000 folks with food, drink and great music, lets make this year even BETTER! Come on down and get in the blues the fun and easy way!
Tickets are $18.00 in advance … $20.00 date of festival.
