PrairieFest kicked off Thursday night with a city band concert in front of City Hall on Central Ave. The band is one of the oldest in the state, having been started by Buckskin Joe in the 1870s.
For many years the city band concerts have been held at Wilson Park, but when the band was playing about 100 years ago, playing in front of city hall was common.
PrairieFest continues through Sunday.

Van Gilder does a real good job. He has been here quite a while now. AC is lucky to have him. He is not a big promoter of himself, but he and young Mr. Judd have a real nice program going.
