We had our large beginning jam group tonight and got to talking about the Victorian Festival that is held every year in Jerseyville. Several of the participants asked that I blog this, so here it is!
The festival is held over Labor Day Weekend, specifically on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (August 30 - September 1, 2008). The Chris Talley Trio will be playing all three days from 1:30 - 5:00 p.m. This is a very family-friendly event, and there are lots of neat things to see while you're there. You can tour the mansion (really fun!!!), and there is a Civil War reenactment, shooting of canons, various demonstrations, displays, lots of people dressed in era clothing, and food, beverages and all kinds of interesting things for sale. Take a look at the website http://www.greatriverroad.com/vicfest.htm for more detailed information. I highly recommend this event!
