Happy Birthday America! A great time of the year to celebrate anything
with sunny days and romantic Summer evenings. The 4th of July fireworks
are just the beginning of a great weekend in Downtown Rockford. On First
Friday, July 5th we will be celebrating with a great evening of
refreshing beverages and a new featured playlist upstairs in the Kortman
Gallery surrounded by the contemporary colorful art by
Javier &
Lisa Jimenez. Uncle
Sam (Michael) La Loggia will be serving up a
refreshing summer drink at a special price...
Calimachos...a blend of red
wine & Coca Cola (yes, that's right). The Calimacho (Kalimotxo in
Spanish) is a summer beach and festival drink which has its origins in
the Basque region of Spain. And we'll be revealing the personal playlist
from the iPod of
Marcia Mueller, a prominent personality in Rockford's
art scene. Marcia's tune will be played through a great sound system
from
Hear.MoreMusic. So enjoy Friday's City Market and stop by
and shop 'til 9 @ J. R. Kortman Center for Design and celebrate our
nations 237th birthday up in the Kortman Gallery with art, music, and a
cool drink!
