[Winona Online Democracy] For 16 years the Upper Mississippi Jazz Society has sponsored a FREE dixieland jazz concert on the 2nd Saturday of July of every year. This year we had the Barbary Coast Jazz Band, The Wonderful World Jazz Band, and Winona's own Gate City Jazz Band. I can't believe that we've kept it a secret all these years. We have held it at the Jaycee Pavillion for the last 10 years. It is a covered pavillion with electric power available and it is a pretty good rain site. The costs are all donated locally by businesses and individuals. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Lowery" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 23:16 Subject: [Winona] vision brainstorming
