Wheeler Park at 822 North 1st Street, Geneva, IL 60134

Please note--not Island Park--this is a new location.

Chicago Shape Note Singers will put on a workshop as part of the Fox Valley Folk Fest on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. We will sing from the 1991 Denson revision of The Sacred Harp. We can start earlier if singers want and you can stay for the many good acts that follow.
