Concert series benefits local programs

BARK RIVER — Patrons of Northern Sun Winery and users of Delta County’s nonmotorized trails turned out Aug. 18 for the final Funday Sunday Benefit Concert, sponsored by the vineyard to support the trails organization. Ticket proceeds from the concert by U.P. Gumbo of Marquette reached $1,310, adding to a successful summer concert series at Northern Sun that raised nearly $3,000 for local charities and community programs.

Northern Sun owners Susie and Dave Anthony announced the results of three public music events in their Funday Sunday summer series, undertaken with nonprofit co-hosts Clear Lake Outdoor Education Center, United Way of Delta County’s Imagination Library and the Delta County Nonmotorized Trails organization.

Besides the most recent event, the July 21 concert by retro duo Genna and Jesse brought in $774 to support the United Way library program and the June 16 concert by Chicago-area group Small Potatoes contributed some $800 for the Clear Lake outdoor education program.

The benefit concert series concluded its fourth season this summer and has grown in popularity each year with larger audiences enjoying the scenic musical setting, pre-concert vineyard and wine cellar tours and award-winning wines.
