Dear Grow Dalton Community,
As you know, Grow Dalton will be holding its first annual Music Festival in the Summer of 2017. We are 'planting the seeds' for this event through a Kick Off Concert and Dance Party next Friday Aug 26th 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm at The Stationery Factory. We have some great artists supporting our cause: White Liger, Beth Maturevich & Jason Webster of Whiskey City, Brian Benlien and Petrichor a band of recent WRHS graduates.
All proceeds go to support Dalton Music Programs (75%) and Grow Dalton (25%)
This is one of the first official events of Grow Dalton and we want to be sure as many people as possible get a chance to join us. This is a community event and kick off to something we hope will last for many years and bring our community closer while helping to Grow and Support the Dalton region's music and arts programs.
In addition to a great night of music we will hold a special ribbon cutting and announcing the annual Dalton Music Awards and a few surprises. If you can make it for an hour or the entire night please join us. Invite your family, friends and co-workers !!
