SUMMARY:Rockford Peaches and the AAGPBL
DESCRIPTION:During the 1940s\, male professional baseball players left the field to lend a hand in WW2 war efforts. To keep the game alive\, Chicago Cubs’ owner Philip K. Wrigley and others started the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) which lasted from 1943-1954. Rockford’s own team\, The Peaches\, were one of the best teams in the league\, winning the championship four times\, more than any other team. Today many people know of the Peaches through the 1992 Hollywood film\, A League of Their Own. \nProvided by Midway Village Museum\, this presentation is part of the America 250 initiative: celebrating our nation throughout the year. It is open to all ages and sponsored by The Friends of the Library. Registration is not required. \nFor more information\, please contact Susan at susang@dkpl.org or (815) 756-9568 ext. 2114.

SUMMARY:Hits of the Ragtime Era
DESCRIPTION:Pop music comes and goes\, but some songs from over 100 years ago are just as fresh in the mind as the day they were written. The Entertainer\, Alexander’s Ragtime Band\, St. Louis Blues\, and Ballin’ the Jack are still familiar\, but even when they first hit the scene\, these songs were recognized as having something special. \nLook at some of the songs that captivated the public and how their popularity continued into the present and also discover some songs and rags that were hits back in their day. So\, to quote Irving Berlin\, “come on along” for a great hour of ragtime and some early jazz and blues! \n“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano. Based in St. Louis\, the duo is also part of the larger “Ragged Blade Band\,” and has toured music of the ragtime era throughout a several state areas. They’ve found this music is great for good times – brewpubs\, wineries\, markets\, festivals\, and more! They’ve appeared in the Big River Steampunk Festival in Hannibal\, MO\, the Oddities and Curiosities Expo in Chicago and Tulsa\, the RAGBRAI bicycle event in Iowa\, and the St. Louis World’s Fare in their hometown. \nThis free event is open to all. No registration is required. It is sponsored by Gretchen and Charles Moore. \nThis event is part of the America 250 initiative: celebrating our nation throughout the year. \nFor more information\, please contact Samantha at samanthah@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 1701.
