Midwest Noteables Roll to the Prairie State


" Rolling to the Prairie State"

The Midwest Area PreRally and Rally  was held June 25 - June 30, 2012. Maestros departed on Sunday, July 1, 2012.
The Rally was held at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds in  Pecatonica, IL
From Pecatonica 2012


The heat and humidity experienced throughout the USA failed to dampen spirits of the Frustrated Maestros. None the less the enthusiasm and dedication of Maestros rose to the top again.
 
However, it did take a toll on vendors and evening entertainment events.  The Midwest Noteables opened each evening entertainment.  The Military Salute was held the first evening. The group sang and played the Canadian and American national anthems.   Patriotic enthusiasm was evident for the Maestro performance.
