Head downtown on Thursday, August 4th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM where folks will be dancin’ in the street! Don Estes and the Prairie Ramblers, with the help of Butch Bos of Bos Sound, will be playing live jazz for the Davenport Public Library’s annual Bix Porch Party at the Main Street Library (321 Main Street). Be sure to bring your lawn chairs and blankets as we block off Main Street for some good old-fashioned fun.

 

 

While you are enjoying the live music, kids can enjoy FREE face painting from LoonE Lori and balloon animals courtesy of magician and balloon entertainer T.J. Regul!  And if you get hungry, the Teen Volunteer Council will be providing hot dogs and lemonade at bargain prices, and the proceeds will go toward enriching the teen experience at the Davenport Public Library.

 

 

Stop inside the Library afterwards and visit the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center to learn more about Bix Beiderbecke.

 

This FREE event is for people of all ages! For more information, call (563) 326-7832 or visit www.davenportlibrary.com.
