The Friends of Argyle Lake State Park will be hosting ‘Arts in Nature’ painting classes at Argyle Lake State Park at the park’s visitor center shelter.

The Burr Oak String Band offers up a crowd-pleasing mix of lively instrumentals and heartfelt harmonies. Masters of a variety of instruments and styles – old-time, raggy blues, bluegrass, folk – they appeal to a range of musical sensibilities and can perform in a variety of settings, including concerts, festivals, and dances. In different combinations, the members of Burr Oak played together in several old-time or bluegrass bands before we decided to play together in the spring of 2015.
