Carbondale New School

Locally Grown Music Festival & Fundraiser

Locally Grown 2018

Locally Grown is Carbondale New School's single biggest annual fundraiser. It has games and art activities for kids, and rock 'n roll for everyone. Whether you want to sit in the sun and watch the kids play, or rock out on the dance floor, it's all going on at Turley Park, Saturday April 21, 2018 from 3 to 7PM.

Thanks to Southern Illinois Healthcare and Oliver & Associates for being our 2018 event sponsors! Our bands for 2018 are as follows:

	Band	FB
	Fiddle Rick and the Bourbon Boys
	Honey & Tar
	King Juba - Blues, Funk & Soul
	Porch Fire

Activities for the kids (and adults!) include:

• Bounce House
• Paint Pendulum
• Chess
• Face Paint
• Henna
• Giant Jenga
• Mini-Golf
• Angry Birds
• Pool Noodle Soccer Ball Croquet
• Baggos
• Laddergolf
• Sensory Tub
• Tree Cookies
• Bubble Pond
• Community Art Canvas

Every year at Locally Grown, there is one particular moment that I wait for: the band and the adults are wrapped up in a song, the kids are enjoying the games, our volunteers are having fun with each other and the kids---and for a moment, time stands still. That is IT; when you know you've had a hand in creating THAT--it's a feeling you can live on for a year.

--Robin Cardwell-Mullins, 2016 CNS Director of Fundraising
