It’s Local Heroes Day at the ballfield this afternoon as the Burlington Bees face the Normal Cornbelters at 2:00pm.  For tickets and information, go to www.GOBEES.com.  “Get Stung by the Fun!”

The Burlington Municipal Band‘s July 7th concert at the Crapo Park bandshell will be conducted by Jacob Yochum and the band will be joined by the Nauvoo Pageant Bagpipe Band.  The pipers will begin their performance at approximately 6:30 and will play three pieces together with the Muni Band at the usual 7:30 PM concert start time.  The Muni Band’s  members always look forward to this concert with the pipers and hope everyone will come out to the park early to enjoy their performance.   Because of street repaving, it is suggested that audience members access the park via Summer Street to Parkway Street.   In case of rain, the concert will move to the James Madison auditorium at 2132 Madison Ave.
