The New Pearl Buttons
The New Pearl Buttons perform American music of the mid to late 19th century (circa 1845-1900). The ensemble includes mandolin, singers, flute and piano and often plays historic sites in Wisconsin and Minnesota, including the Historic LeDuc Estate in Hastings, MN and several festivals. Recently the band has teamed up with author-illustrator team Dave Geister and Pat Bauer to present educational readings and programs to audiences of all ages, based on their new book B Is For Battle Cry: A Civil War Alphabet.
The “Pearl Buttons” perform with Don and Sherry Ladig (flute, vocals and piano) as a duo, or as a trio with the addition of John Wenstrom on mandolin and vocals. The group is available in 1860’s costume for all festivals and celebrations.

RSCDS Annual Failte Ball
Time: 2:00 pm
"Failte" means "welcome" in Scots gaelic. Each year the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society holds a ball with tasty appetizers, sweets and drinks, Scottish country dancing, and live music. Although the dances are not as difficult as many in this tradition, Scottish country dancing is not recommended unless you have some experience with this tradition. There is a separate, less expensive admission option for spectators who wish to eat, watch the fun, and listen to music (check the RSCDS website for all details). It's a great opportunity to dress up and enjoy a festive occasion; everyone is very friendly! This is an matinee dance, 2-6 p.m.
