This weekend’s Arts in the Park and Vermilion County Fair are officially kicking-off the fun this summer. But there is much more to come, according to Jeanie Cooke, Director of the Danville Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. Arts in the Park at Danville’s Lincoln Park on Saturday and Sunday (June 22nd and 23rd) features various local groups performing on the main stage. Those groups range from the Sweet Adelines of Danville and 144th Army Band Brass Quartet to the Red Mask Children’s Theatre and Danville Municipal Band. There is also an Art on Wheels Car Show on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., an Art Show by the Danville Art League and sidewalk chalk contest…among other activities. The events are expected to attract some visitors to Danville from a wide area.
