Treat Your Ears to Live Music Today at Pierz Freedom Fest

One of my favorite days of the year is this Saturday (July 10th), as the Genola Ball Fields come alive for the annual Pierz Freedom Fest (or mostly annual). Last years event was forced to be put on hold due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

I'm not sure what I like best about it. Certainly the music is amazing, but more than that I think its a combination of the small, up-close venue -- outdoors on the green grass of the ball fields. It's seeing friends that I don't see that often, especially after the last year and a half. Tasty eats and ice cold beer doesn't hurt either. It's just an all-around vibe of good energy, fun, and celebration.
