Local Musicians have held an open mic format show on a few previous weekends at the Onion Grille in Hastings to raise money to help school music programs. Wendy Dodge, owner of the Onion Grille graciously donated the space and her staff pitched in to make the events successful. Together, they raised $2,633 and recently presented the check to Kennedy Elementary School.
