Geary County Historical Society
The Geary County Historical Society will host Acoustic Junction (at the Museum) on Friday, November 15th. Local musicians including Pat Billington, George LeRoux, and the Grateful Dudes will perform beginning at 7:00 pm. Hot dogs, popcorn, desserts, and beer and wine will be available for a donation. This annual benefit concert, which raises funds for the St. Joseph’s Historic Church restoration project is typically held at the church on McDowell Creek Road. Due to construction in the area, the concert will be held at the Museum building located at 530 N Adams, Junction City. All proceeds will still benefit the restoration of St. Joseph’s Historic Church.
The event will also be accompanied by a STEAM Friday event, beginning at 5pm which will feature STEAM activities for families to learn about the science of sound or create their own stained-glass windows. This event will be held in lieu of November’s typical STEAM Saturday event. All are welcome and all STEAM activities are free thanks to the sponsorship of the United Way of Junction City Geary County.
Music lovers and those interested in learning more about the history of St. Joseph’s church and the ongoing restoration are invited to attend. A display will be set up celebrating the 150 years of history surrounding the church. A brief meeting of the Geary County Historical Society board will also be held between sets to vote in new and/or returning Board members.
