The future of Bands on the Bricks Summer Concert Series is uncertain after the Box Butte Development Corporation Board of Directors agreed to seek a new host for the series.
The meeting occurred on Jan. 13. BBDC will offer a mini-grant to entities wanting to organize a similar event. Civic groups, churches, private businesses and non-profits are invited to apply. BBDC announced in a press release that if no interest is shown in the event, then it will cease to exist.
Grant applications are due to BBDC by 5 p.m. on March 1. The events may run from May through September. A final report, including receipts for reimbursement, is required to be submitted within 30 days of the event.
“Bands on the Bricks has been a great community event and a lot of fun for most, however, we feel it has never fit the mission of BBDC and therefore hope to pass it on after a five year run.” said Chelsie Herian, BBDC Executive Director. “I would also like to give a sincere thank you to all of the past sponsors and volunteers.”
For more information, people are encouraged to contact BBDC at 308-762-1800.
