Tomorrow’s weather is looking just about perfect, and we’ll be getting everything ready for the Concert in Wright Park!

We’ll be setting up sound equipment starting at noon and could use a few extra helping hands to help unload and set up gear. It’s not complicated—we mostly just need some muscle! 💪

If any of our Dodge City area followers are available around noon tomorrow and would like to lend a hand, send us message. We’ll have some light refreshments on hand as a thank-you.

Appreciate the support, and we hope to see you there for the concert! Show kicks off at 6:00pm 👀
