Last night, we drove over to Libertyville, Illinois, to see Mr. Myers, a band we have been following since 1981 after they got their start at Andy's in Dekalb. They were students at Northern Illinois. We had just seen them playing at our Spring Grove 4th of July Fest a couple weeks ago.
This concert is part of a summer series every Tuesday in July to August 6th at the Millennia Plaza amphitheater at Independence Grove, a part of the Lake County Forest Preserve District. It costs $5 to park and that is all the fees you have to pay.
We pulled up to the entrance, just off Milwaukee Avenue on 137 and saw some Forest Preserve Police there with flashing lights signalling us to drive on. We thought that perhaps they had cancelled it because of the heat wave. We doubled back and were told there was no concert tonight. They did not go into more details.
When we got home, Liz went on the internet and found out that there had been a bomb scare and, not taking chances, the concert was cancelled and every told to leave. The whole preserve will be closed until a complete search has been made.
