Our July meeting
One and all are welcome to join us for our monthly meetings. Whether you just want to see what we’re up to, or you want to join the bunch and help us promote the arts here in Sturgis, we’d be happy to see you!
We’ll meet in the Sturgis Public Library’s Lushbough Room at 2:30pm on Thursday, July 9th.
We will NOT meet in August – but will be back to our regular 2nd Thursday of the month schedule in September.
Northern Hills Community Band
Once again, the Sturgis Area Arts Council is pleased to help sponsor the Northern Hills Community Band as they present their second summer concert in Sturgis.
The Northern Hills Community Band, which is made up of volunteer musicians from the Northern Hills area, plays a wide variety of selections ranging from marches to show tunes to patriotic music.
You can check out more about the band at their website; www.northernhillscommunityband.com Here you can see their concert schedule and get information on how to join the band as well as see pictures and help sponsor the band. This concert will be Sunday, July 19th, at 7:00pm at Sturgis Rally Point (corner of Main and Harley-Davidson Way).
August Events ….. or not
August is a bit crazy in our part of the world. There’s this little thing called the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally happening, and it tends to make getting out & about almost impossible for a couple of weeks. As such, we’re temporarily halting our regular events and we’ll see you all again in September!
