(UPDATED) TOP STORY OF THE DAY: 2023 4th of July entertainment announced
On Wednesday, the Rotary Club of Brazil met at Cilantro’s Mexican Grill & Cantina, 903 W Jackson St, with some exciting news.
The 2023 4th of July entertainment schedule was announced.
“I think we have the best lineup possible for the money we have,” said Dave Crooks, a Rotary member who was part of the organizational committee. “We have a wide variety of performers to entertain, especially focusing on traditional country music, which we have lacked in the past few years.”
Crooks believes it’s one of the “best lineups” in years.
“We selected a variety of acts to please all tastes and genres,” said Crooks. “I think we have succeeded. We believe these choices will bring many people to our annual celebration”.
The annual event is scheduled to kick off on July 29 and last until July 4 in Forest Park.
