Southern Illinoisans Against Fracturing our Environment (SAFE) is sponsoring Frack Free Fest October 12th in beautiful Cobden, Illinios, featuring regional favorites, the Woodbox Gang.
The benefit will also feature performances by Hobo Knife and County Graves, a live auction, food, beverages, on-site camping, and information about how to save Illinois communities from the oncoming fracking assault. The concert is free but they'll accept a $10 suggested donation, and you can donate in advance (whether or not you're able to attend) at SAFE's website. SAFE is fighting on the front lines of the soon-to-be-launched Illinois fracking assault and they need your support.
They invited me to give a barn-burner speech in between band sets, but don't worry, the focus will be on the music. The the fall colors are spectacular in the Shawnee so I'm excited about making it a weekend hiking trip! Here's a picture I took the last time I visited the Shawnee in October.
