Joseph Hall: ELVIS Rock N Remember
<p>***This event has been rescheduled for APRIL 23***</p><p>ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING! Joseph Hall is thrilled to present his Elvis Rock N Remember tribute show! This show celebrates the roots of Elvis, yet is a fast-paced concert that makes it difficult for you to stay in your seat. It caters to both the young and the young at heart. He's got the look, the voice, the charm and the moves that take us back to a time when parents were flabbergasted by the flauntingly provocative hip action.</p><p>In Hall's Elvis Rock N Remember show, he achieves a powerful flashback experience to the moment when fans fell in love with the talented, handsome, carefree, energetic, high-spirited young man that is Elvis Presley. The show is masterfully produced with a mixture of Elvis hits from rock n roll, country, pop to gospel, multiple costume changes and a heartfelt tribute to our veterans. He's even got the teddy bears and scarves to woo the ladies. A must-see for all ages!</p><p>Joseph Hall, born in 1984, has been paying tribute to the legacy of Elvis Presley since 2006. He starred on NBC's America's Got Talent in 2008, making 6 TV appearances, viewed by more than 90 million people and placing as one of the top 10 finalists! Sharon Osbourne impressed enough to tell him, "I've got shoes older than you, but I'd like to try you on!" Also, Piers Morgan quoted saying, "ELVIS IS BACK!" Joseph Hall has performed all over the world! Joseph Hall has won accolades throughout his young career including the "Spirit of Elvis " award. Joseph Hall has worked with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Legends in Concert, and has officially been recognized as one of the top tribute artists in the world today. Hall says "My goal is to capture the essence of Elvis Presley, to pay tribute with the utmost respect to his legacy, his music, his image and above all else his fans.”</p><p>Tickets to this event are non-refundable.</p>

Women of Ragtime
<div data-layout-label="Post Body" data-type="item" data-updated-on="1615999545890"><div data-block-type="2"><p>Women of Ragtime</p><p>Women ragtime composers faced challenges – it wasn’t considered very “ladylike” to write this kind of music, and once they got married, they were expected to give up their career and raise a family. Still, a surprising amount of ragtime was written by young women, and much of it was very successful in its time. We’ll share some music by May Aufderheide, the Indiana composer who is considered the best of the female composers; Charlotte Blake of Detroit, who was known not only for ragtime but also for popular songs; and Irene Giblin, who got her start demonstrating sheet music in a St. Louis department store. Along with that were some famous singers; vaudeville performer Sophie Tucker had an unusual rag written especially for her.</p><p>“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano. Based in St. Louis, the duo is also part of the larger “Ragged Blade Band,” and has toured music of the ragtime era throughout several states.</p><p>This program will be via Zoom. Registration is required to get the Zoom link. To register click <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwudO-trj0tHNMvGJrAcKucCICFzCrtido6">here</a></p></div></div> 2021-04-06 19:00:00 -0500

Courage Ride
<h5><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Courage Ride is a multi-route bike ride through southern Johnson and Washington counties. Proceeds from Courage Ride support the Sarcoma Cancer Research Program at the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.</span></strong></h5><h5><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">Courage Ride, an annual charity bike ride benefiting the University of Iowa’s sarcoma cancer research program, has announced it will resume as both an in-person and virtual event. It also has added a second start/finish location at the Washington County Fairgrounds that will take riders along the Kewash Trail to Keota. The 17th Annual Courage will also return to Big Grove Brewery and Taproom in Iowa City.<br>The Washington location will offer two routes along the beautiful Kewash Trail, a limestone surfaced trail along a former railway.<br>Big Grove will offer six routes that will continue to take riders through the scenic Amish countryside near Hills and Kalona and out as far as Washington and Keota, Iowa for the longer routes. A 5 mile Family Fun ride to the Terry Trueblood Recreational Area is also being offered.<br>Courage Ride is following federal, state and local pandemic guidelines, as of May 2021, to ensure a safe ride experience in 2021. COVID measures are subject to change as regulations, restrictions and recommendations change prior to our August 14th event.<br>“We feel so blessed to be able to return to in-person riding for those who can. Last year was definitely a challenge and we really missed seeing everyone who has come out and supported us over the past 16 years,” said Courage Ride Director Leora Houghton. “And we are so excited to add Washington, Iowa as a second location. This location is a great opportunity to grow our event and offer a different trail ride experience for those who like to get closer to nature. Growing the event means more dollars going into sarcoma cancer research at the university where they are making great progress on this rare form of cancer.”<br>Courage Ride honors the life of Seth Bailey, a courageous young man who died at age 25 from sarcoma cancer in 2003. His parents, Jackie and Tom Bailey partnered with Bicyclists of Iowa City (BIC) in 2005 to create a ride that all levels of bicyclists can enjoy.<br>Courge Ride organizers anticipate between 600 to 700 bicyclists to register for the event. Beginning at 7:00 a.m., bicyclists will travel on 8 different routes. Routes from Big Grove include lengths of 5, 18, 37 (Seth Bailey Courage Loop), 58, 72 or 107 (The Tom Bailey Century) miles. Routes from the Washington County Fairgrounds include lengths of 17 and 35 miles.<br>Bicyclists at Big Grove can also participate in a silent auction featuring items from a variety of area businesses, organizations and craftsmen along with free skin cancer screenings by University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics dermatologists. The local community is also welcome to participate in the free skin cancer screenings.A Live Facebook Fundraising event will be held Thursday, August 12that www.facebook.com/couragerideProceeds Support Sarcoma Cancer ResearchAll proceeds from Courage Ride go to the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Sarcoma Research Program. Over the past 16 years, Courage Ride has raised over $660,000 for sarcoma cancer research.<br>To date, Courage Ride proceeds have seeded numerous sarcoma cancer research grants. Many of those grants have evolved into promising, larger scale research studies. This newfound momentum in the Sarcoma Research Program has created a lot of enthusiasm among researchers, investigators, doctors and cancer care providers at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. The results are leading to new advancements, new partnerships and attracting some of the best research talent in the nation. Patient lives are improved as a result of these research studies and the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center is gaining worldwide recognition for its expertise in advancing sarcoma research.<br>Courage Ride’s mission is more crucial than ever considering that funding for cancer research has been shrinking over the past 10 years, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Yet cancer remains one of the nation’s costliest diseases. The American Cancer Society’s 2020 estimates for soft tissue sarcomas in the United States (these statistics include both adults and children) project that 13,130 new soft tissue sarcomas will be diagnosed (7,470 cases in males and 5,660 cases in females) and 5,270 Americans (2,840 males and 2,430 females) are expected to die of soft tissue sarcomas. Over 100 adults and children in Iowa are diagnosed with sarcoma each year. Sarcoma receives one to two percent of all cancer research funding.<br>Discount For Early RegistrationRegistration is now open. Early adult registration is $75 (through Friday, August 6). Beginning August 7, adult registration is $85. On-site registration Friday, August 13 and 14 is $90. Youth registration (13-17) is $15. Registration includes breakfast and lunch, entertaining rest stops and SAG support. A victory party with live music will be held throughout the afternoon.<br>Visit www.CourageRide.org for more information about the event including registration, route maps, parking, or to make a donation. </span></strong><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>ABOUT THE RIDE</strong></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Two start/finish locations: Big Grove Brewery and Taproom in Iowa City and The Washington County Fairgrounds in Washington, Iowa</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Over 600 riders are expected to register</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>8 total routes, ranging from a 5 mile family fun ride to a century ride (5, 17, 18, 35, 37, 58, 72, 107 miles).</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Registration at Big Grove opens at 6 a.m. Registration at Washington opens at 7:30 a.m.</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Includes breakfast and lunch</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Rest stops with food, drinks and live music</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Cyclists receive detailed maps, SAG support, bike mechanics and free tent camping.</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Courage Ride jerseys available to order</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>A silent auction at Big Grove featuring items from area businesses, organizations and craftsmen</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Free skin cancer screenings performed at Big Grove by University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics dermatologists</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Adult-Early Registration (through Friday, August 6th) $75</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Adult-Week of Registration (starting Saturday, August 7) $85</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>On-site registration Friday, August 13 and 14 is $90.</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Youth (13-17) $15</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Children 12 & under are free.</strong></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Visit <a href="http://courageride.org/" target="_blank">CourageRide.org</a> for route maps, registration information or to make a donation. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Also follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!</strong></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">Join us for this fun event and help us "Fight Sarcoma Cancer.
