A great deal is going on at The Venue in Aurora First, I wanted to thank all of you for coming out and supporting live music over the Summer. We had a great time in Mundy Park and it was a pleasure to be able to enjoy live music safely. Thanks so much for sticking with us through the pandemic and for adhering to the ever-changing COVID protocols.
We are very excited to move back indoors where we belong. We hope you will join us. In case there is any doubt, proof of vaccination and masks are required for entry. As you will recall, The Venue was closed for 16 months, and we certainly do not want to go down that road again.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation and hope that you will support us in our efforts to keep all of you, our musicians, volunteers, and staff members healthy so we can continue to enjoy live music safely.
Speaking of volunteers, they are the lifeblood of our organization and we wouldn’t be here without them. Huge thanks to those who have worked tirelessly to bring us music in Mundy. They deserve a rest, so if you have ever thought of becoming a volunteer, we would love to expand our group.
Lastly, if you haven’t purchased tickets yet for Marcia Ball and Tommy Castro Sunday, Oct. 10, we still have a few left, so get them before they are gone!
