Every day that the fields are open, they will have local musicians performing from 5:30 p.m. until sunset. The performer on Aug. 3 will be the local two-man acoustic band known as Junction. John and Dave have been playing music most of their lives, and they bring that experience and incorporate this into playing their favorite songs in their own unique way. They both have very strong classic rock roots, but the repertoire is eclectic and creative and includes everything from Sinatra, Beatles, Stones and Billy Joel to some of the best of the '90s and 2000s.
