This presentation is supported by the Heartland Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contributions from General Mills Foundation, Land O'Lakes Foundation, Sprint Corporation and the Kickapoo Valley Acoustic Music Association. The Heartland Arts Fund enables individuals and families throughout America's heartland to share in and to enjoy the arts and cultures of our region and world. David J. Fraher, Heartland Arts Fund Chairman said, "The Kickapoo Valley Acoustic Music Association is to be commended for their commitment to serving their community with this distinctive event.
