Robby Vee in Concert — Live at the Sauk Centre Festival of the Arts! Get ready to experience “The Prince of Twang” himself this fall!

CONCERT IN THE PARK

ROBBY VEE

& his Rock-n-Roll Caravan

Saturday, Sept. 27

6PM-8PM

Robby Vee is what the coalition calls "a rock 'n' roll original." His concert will be "an evening of electricity and music hosted by Second Generation Rockabilly Hall of Fame rocker Robby Vee," according to the coalition. Vee is known for combining elements of his vast repertoire of songs that bridge generational gaps from early rock 'n' roll to American music today. "Get ready for this high-energy trip to the 50s and 60s!" says the coalition.

Glass blowing demonstations by Jon Offutt House of Mulciber. Sponsored by Artify Sauk Centre.

Fly tying demonstrations are being planned by 510 Art Lab.

Join Now. Make. Art. on Saturday from 12 to 3 p.m. to turn “garbage” into art! Turn everyday materials into brand new puppets and companions of your creation. Critters, people, or mythical creatures– the only limit is your imagination! Participants can use storytelling and creative drama to bring their new friend to life. Sponsored by the GRRL Sauk Centre. This program was made possible with Arts & Cultural Heritage Funds from Minnesota's Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment.
