What Do Bemidji and Northfield Have in Common?
One answer to that question is: me*. I’m thrilled to announce that I will give two presentations this summer about my pioneering bandmaster great-grandfather, G. Oliver Riggs—one in Bemidji and one in Northfield!
In Bemidji, I will be the featured speaker at the Beltrami County Historical Society (BCHS) annual meeting on Saturday, June 18. The event is tentatively set for noon and will include lunch and musical entertainment. Dan Karalus, the society’s executive director, is working out the details, and I am thankful for his enthusiastic support.
Here’s some information about the talk, from the spring 2016 issue of The Depot Express, the BCHS newsletter.
In Northfield, I will speak at the Northfield Historical Society (NHS) during the 2016 Vintage Band Festival (VBF).
