THANK YOU Think Bank, Riverside Concerts and Downtown Rochester Association for a GREAT summer!

Summertime in SE Minnesota is drawing to a close. We've had some great memories and some of my favorites from the summer of 2014 are the free concerts 'Down by the Riverside" and Thursday's on First.
It takes a lot of money to give you a 'free' concert. Someone has to pay the band because they don't play for free. Then, there's sound and lighting costs, security, insurance, advertising, porta-potties and more. I'm sure there are other costs, too.
Think Bank has been involved with the "Down by the Riverside Concerts' for many years. They've spent thousands and thousands of dollars to help bring bands to town. And a big thanks goes to Steve, Chris, Deana and the staff at Riverside Concerts for giving up a part of their weekend for most of the summer, too.
And what can you say about Thursday's on First & Third? Thousands of people, food, drinks and free bands every Thursday!
THANK YOU to the Rochester Downtown Business Association for all you do to help make that happen. I'm really looking forward to all the fun next year! - Alan
