2nd Street Stage will feature Corey Medina and Brothers July 19

The Park Rapids Downtown Business Association invites you to celebrate summer at 2nd Street Stage events Thursday evenings through Aug. 16.

The free concerts will run from 6 to 8 p.m. (7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 9) with bands, a beer garden, cornhole tournaments and family activities on the second block of South Main. Bring your own lawn chair.

The beer garden will open at 5 p.m. for a social hour while you find your spot, listen to the sound check and greet neighbors and friends. Support this great event by buying an official 2018 button and receive $2 off all beverages purchased and a free stadium cup or koozie at the beer garden.

Corey Medina and Brothers from Bemidji will return to 2nd Street Stage July 19, sponsored by Vision Source Eye Clinic. Medina is a Native American blues artist from Shiprock, NM. Shiprock is on the Navajo Tribal Nation where he was born and raised. He moved to Northern Minnesota in 2012 and currently plays, writes and produces with the Incepticons team and travels with his band known as "The Brothers." They set out to spread light to dark, and hope to the hopeless with their raw, soulful, intimate music and stage presence. The Brothers are Eric Sundeen, drums, and Gary Broste, upright bass. Arrive at 5 for the social hour, sponsored by TruStar Federal Credit Union.

Weekly stage sponsor is R.D. Offutt Farms. Thielen Motors is weekly sound sponsor. This activity is also made possible, in part, by a 3M grant and the voters of Minnesota, through a grant from the Region 2 Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
