The historic SILVER DOME BALLROOM is thrilled to present an outstanding lineup for its 2012 SPRING BLUES PARTY.  Headlining the event are Alligator Records recording artist and Chicago blues legend, LIL ED & THE BLUES IMPERIALS, one of the very finest Blues acts in the world today.  Also appearing are two acts from the Minneapolis area, The Paul Holland Band, a Blues-Rock trio reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Walker Fields, a guitar and drums duo a la The Black Keys.

Three acts, including a bona fide Blues legend, for only $10!  Doors open at 6 p.m. and music will start at about 8.  The Silver Dome will also be serving up great drinks and great times all evening long.  The Silver Dome Ballroom is located five miles west of Neillsville (WI) on US HWY 10 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Check out their Facebook page for further information.


During cleanup, we found a multi-colored coat, a Kanga hat, and a pair of black-framed reading glasses.  Email us if they're yours and we'll get 'em back to you ASAP.
