In Don's memory we will be hosting a music performance series showcasing area musicians, including Halla and Madison Hilborn on the violin and viola; singer, songwriter, and guitarist Cal Whitmore; and the Michiwinds Chamber Ensemble. Please stop by to enjoy the beautiful music and share memories of Don.
