Something Musical This Way Comes
by John Weckerle
As August approaches, so does this year’s music festival at Wildlife West Nature Park. Featuring such acts as John McCutcheon, the Badly Bent, Dave Firestine and Round the House, and Syd Masters & The Swing Riders among many others, the festival will provide plenty of opportunities for listening and other fun – and, of course, access to the zoo. The festival is being held at the same time as the Town of Edgewood’s Run, Rally and Rock celebration, a cooperative effort between the Town and the Chamber of Commerce, and shuttles will reportedly make it easy to get to and from both events. For more information on the music festival, see the Wildlife West Nature Park site.
While we’re on the subject, we’d like to remind our readers that the Park is still in need of donations to help support its continued operation. Wildlife West provides outstanding educational opportunities for people of all ages, and employment for many of our local young people during the summer. Donations can be made by credit card on the Park’s web site, and of course they can accept checks through the mail and cash in person. If you can afford it, we ask that you consider donating what you can – donations of any size will help.

I’ve been looking for a single website with Run, Rally & Rock information on it. No luck. Is there one? Is there an Edgewood Community calendar anywhere online? Maybe I’m not as adept at finding information on the internet as I thought I was. In the absence of a unified event site, I’ll post the Wildlife West Music Festival link and a general contact for the rest -if I can find one.
I haven’t seen anything comprehensive. There’s not much detail on the Edgewood Chamber web site, but there’s a little; other than that, most of what I’ve seen has been in the newspapers.
