The new “Brown Bag Concert Series” will take place on Fridays in downtown St. Johns in the Rotary Park Pavilion by the CIS Trail and Depot. The hour-long concerts will start at noon each Friday and are made possible by a grant from the St Johns Area Community Fund using gifts received from The Forest and Doris Swatman Trust.
