After a minimal-contact, whittled-down event last year, the Prairie Chicken Arts Festival is back, with more events than ever, said event Co-Coordinator Dianne Packee.
The art and music festival is a family-friendly event with many of the activities either free or minimal cost, Packee said. The PCAF is funded by Quarter Madness, an event co-sponsored by the PCAF committee and the Kewanee Rotary Club.
The PCAF is scheduled for Fri. July 9 and Sat. July 10, and many of the events for children will take place on Saturday between 10 am. and 2 p.m.
