The date and time for the NIBA Bluegrass on the Grass has been set. It will be held at the Immanuel Lutheran Church, 12760 Lee Road, Hinckley, IL on Saturday July 18th beginning at 11am.

Jamming will start when people with instruments show up!!! Lunch will be served at noon. The NIBA will again be providing chicken and beverages. Please bring your favorite side dish, potluck, or dessert. If you have a canopy tent, please bring that as well.
