Brewfest needs Elgin music

The 11th annual Brewfest starts at happy hour tomorrow and runs through midnight Saturday. At 10,000 celebrants, this is probably Elgin's biggest festival. Brewfest would be an ideal place to showcase Elgin's music heritage and its music scene, but unfortunately the organizers only booked cover bands this year. Hopefully future years will be different. If you want to hear some of the great music being produced by Elgin bands, tell the Prairie Rock (847-622-8888). You can also use their website.
