Photographer John Moran. 2 ❖ Julien’s Journal ❖ August 2012 a look inside Hurray for the Hooligans, rock on to the Dark Side . . . and the musicians performing this year at Rock n’ Roll Rewind. Yes, easily recalled are the memories of the Ramp Dances where many danced to the music of The Dutch Uncle and felt the sway of the top ramp under the rhythmic pressure of hundreds of young rockers. If you are a fan, plan to attend this year’s musical revival at Courtside on August 10 and 11. As with many entertaining events, proceeds will go to a good cause, in this case, Albreight Acres. Yes, you can be entertained for a good cause. Our community supports events with profits helping those in need. As I venture further into this commitment of time and benevolence, I have to say, YES…. I’ll commit, and why not? Most fund raising events (even those perhaps out of our comfort zone or remote interest) open doors that promise the rewards of a great time, new and interesting people sharing a common cause, and, of course, knowing the money personally contributed will help. It’s not selfless sacrifice… it’s rewarding on all levels. And our August issue will highlight a few examples of some extremely fun FUNdraisers. A special event happening at the end of this issue’s coverage, on September 2, Labor Day Weekend, will be a new venture for Julien’s Journal. We’ve taken the step to promote our own fundraising event that I think many of you will enjoy. Along with 365Ink, we are introducing the Dubuque Bluegrass Festival to benefit the Marine Corps. Toys for Tots. There will be a Santa Claus in September. In a very round-about way, this festival came to my attention when a friend and promoter of the Mud Lake Bluegrass Festival, Jimmy Zmudka, had doubts of doing another. After a decade of promoting a month of Bluegrass Sundays, Jimmy and his volunteers were growing weary. Cutting to the chase and without hesitation from Bryce Parks, Publisher of 365Ink, we said, “Hey, why not?” Many of the details are still coming together, but I promise you a fun-filled family event of music, dancing, good food, beverages (beer and wine included) and good times. Yes, this too will benefit another good cause. Look for the event highlights under Labor Day events in our calendar and see more details to come on www.juliensjournal.com and our Facebook page, www.facebook/ juliensjournal.com. Finally, I want to wish John Cino, and all of the artists who brought their sculptures to grace Art on the River, a fond farewell. It was our pleasure to make your acquaintance and listen to many of your personal challenges in bringing your masterpieces to our area, as well as your experiences here in the Dubuque region. I hope you all find the time and initiative to come back to experience our community’s culture, people and of course the Mississippi River. Anything else???? Hooley highlights… fall weddings… a heritage farm on the move and much more. Please enjoy this issue as we dive into the personal story behind many of our events, people and history. To me, each issue continues to get better. I hope you feel the same. Please let us know your comments on our features and column writers. How are we doing in your eyes?
