BOWLFUL OF BLUES IN NEWTON IOWA FOR 2010 IS JULY 24!!!!  FOR MORE INFORMATION CHECK OUT THE SOUTH SKUNK WEBSITE
One of my favorite small blues fests takes place in Newton Iowa. On July 28th Maytag park will rock out with some of the best local, regional, and national acts around. This fest is on a much smaller scale than Mississippi Valley. the bowl, looks like a miniature Hollywood Bowl, with a natural grass amphitheater. There are a few benches to sit on, but most people prefer to bring picnic blankets. This is a very family friendly event put on by the South Skunk Blues Society. They always put on a great show, and if you get hot, there is an exceptional swimming pool just west of the bowl. Here is the particulars from the South Skunk website.
