SCOTTVILLE — The Scottville Clown Band performs on its home stage, the Scottville Clown Band Shell, tonight for its annual Patriotic Concert. Most of the Americana themed songs are performed exclusively during this show, which begins at 7 p.m.

The Scottville Optimist Club will be selling bratwursts, hotdogs, cotton candy, popcorn and beverages while the band will also be asking the audience to contribute to its George F. Wilson Memorial Endowment Fund, which has been established through the Community Foundation for Mason County to provide scholarships for children attending summer performing arts camps. Attendees should bring a lawn chair or blanket. The band shell is located adjacent to the Scottville Optimist Club. 

On Independence Day the band will march in the Manistee National Forest Festival parade in Manistee at 10 a.m. and then will end the Ludington Area Jaycees Freedom Festival parade, which begins at 2 p.m.

Following the Ludington parade, the band will perform a short show near the intersection of Ludington Avenue and Lakeshore Drive and then will play at the American Legion on North James Street.
