Music Festival celebrates 11th anniversary with homegrown Rusted Root

On Sunday, September 5, 2010, the Allegheny County Music Festival will be celebrating its 11th anniversary with a concert featuring Pittsburgh’s own Rusted Root. The concert, a great getaway for families on Labor Day weekend, is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

A $20.00 per car donation is requested and will help to replenish the Allegheny County Music Festival Fund (ACMFF), which provides children and youth served by DHS with life-enriching items and opportunities otherwise unavailable through government funds. Providing funding for dance and karate classes, music lessons, summer camp, and graduation expenses are just a few of the many ways that the ACMFF creates a sense of normalcy in the life of a vulnerable child or adolescent.

Please spread the word and join DHS to celebrate Labor Day and support this great fund!
