Due to widespread community support, the Brodhead Chamber’s seventh Annual Wildflower Art Festival, held Saturday, Aug. 12, was a huge success.

Live music was provided both morning and afternoon this year, courtesy of Ann Uresk’s extremely talented local group, “Break-Away Fiddle” whose perfect sound brought rave reviews from those in attendance, and Todd Apfel of Vining, Iowa, a singer-songwriter who performed a variety of original and vintage folk, rock, and country numbers.
