April 17th 1985 The Hip Hop Rockers doing a performance at the Rockford Public Library Montague branch! Let that date sync in for a minute… hip hop has been in Rockford for over 40 years.
Dancer Faith Minneyfield created this choreography special for the night.

I asked her to keep dancing
after the music ended.
Just her,
the room,
and everyone holding their breath.
When the silence had nowhere else to go,
I walked over
and extinguised the light.

Since day one, South Main Mercado has always strived to be a platform for up-and-coming and minority businesses. We have also aimed to showcase a variety of music—not just trendy styles, but something that represents everyone across all genres. This year, we truly have something for everyone, from young to old and from Spanish speakers to those who speak other languages. If you enjoy music, we have a full lineup that includes street performers and DJs. Hope you’re ready for a full day! Come ready to dance; lawn chairs are encouraged!

I realize that I have actually hosted a lot of events for no other reason than necessity; someone had to keep the show moving, maintain a consistent flow, and call the entertainment as needed. This was the first time I was asked to do so. Not only was I very honored to be a part of it, but I was also very happy to witness all these performers firsthand. Being in such an ambient setting was truly amazing. I’m looking forward to the next one—thank you!

A PAINTING BOUGHT FOR $75 OUT OF THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK IN ROCKFORD MADE A MYTH BECOME REAL.
This painting may be the first known physical evidence of a Holocaust-era painting workshop of Jews forced by a Nazi officer into creating copies of European masterworks making him very rich.
This story and the process to tell it so far has been crazy!
