There aren’t many things better than pie, ice cream, good music, and spending time with friends on a summer evening.

We had a great time hosting an old fashion ice cream social at the Mt. Morris Band concert tonight. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, grabbed a treat, and supported Midwest Arts Legacy Project.

We’re grateful for everyone who helped make the evening a success. Every dollar raised helps support the music at this year’s Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival September 18-20, 2926 in Harrison, IL. We couldn’t do it without all of you.

Thanks for spending part of your evening with us. We can’t wait to do it again.

Forty-three years ago, Vivian Gaines started the Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival to honor the memory of her husband, Lloyd, and his lifelong love of music. What began as a personal tribute became a cornerstone for our community.

Now, as the Midwest Arts Legacy Project carries that torch forward, our vision remains simple: preserve what Vivian built, celebrate the artists who shaped it, and inspire future generations to keep these traditions alive.

Hear from Jeff and Liz Wagner as they share more about the Midwest Arts Legacy Project and why this mission matters now more than ever.

Be part of the next chapter. Join us September 18–20 in Harrison, Illinois.
