Town & Country Days off to great start; continues through Saturday
The Eldorado festival is up and running, but there is still a lot to enjoy if you haven't gotten to Town & Country Days yet. There's plenty of food, music, carnival rides and much more to come. On Friday, don't miss the dedication of the historical marker paying tribute to George Harrison's visit to Eldorado, and the Beatles tribute band the Liverpool Legends. All concerts are free.
