HISTORY

With the support of the Village and the countless hours of volunteers on the Special Events Committee, the residents enjoy these annual summer concerts.

These concerts where the idea of volunteers and in 2010 carried on by local business owners Renee Kirin and Shane Johnson. The first concerts were held the summer of 2000.

After many years of organizing these annual events, they both stepped down. The Village Board honored them with a Proclamation at a Village Board meeting that was held on November 7, 2016 announcing Kirin Johnson Day which was recognized November 9, 2016.
