My job has been defined to looking and writing for grants, getting all of the details settled for the big bridge lift, creating the event for Vern and creating the music scene with benefits including increased awareness and eventual monies for the bridge.
To that end our last event grossed $281 less band expense (100). Not bad for #2. Word of mouth, a bit of guerilla advertising, facebook have all been great tools for getting the word out. It doesn't hurt that these musicians are some of the most talented. I helped subsidize the first raffle to establish the value and now we are on to the 2nd - a year's worth of haircuts from MickeyPat's in Grinnell. This is $120 value - raffle tickets are on sale now.
The event brought more musicians to the table and they knew others. It seems like we have the potential to have great fun with this - planning through the end of June with Vern's Seminar being the culmination of this run. Next fall - September through November - more Tuesdays? IT's been discussed.

This blog has been created so that The N. Skunk River Greenbelt Association and the Friends of the Skunk River Bridge as well as other interested folks can see what I am doing towards the goal of restoring a jewel of the prairie, the bowstring bridge built in 1883 and how it works to access the area.
Bridge Still Out, but getting closer
