Mark your calendars for
Saturday, Jan. 30. The first-ever Winter Blues Blast at Pontiac starts at 3:00 that afternoon at the firehouse. Three bands will alternate jamming throughout the day. There is no cover charge, and everyone is welcome to come out and spend the day listening to some great local live music! There will be food for sale throughout the day, including hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, pizza by the slice, soda and water. Proceeds from food sales will go to the Pontiac firework fund. We'll also be selling souvenir plastic cups to raise money for the fireworks. Questions? Call 417-679-3676 and leave a message, or e-mail info@pontiaccove.com. We hope to see you there!
