Music for munchies in Proctor

Attend Tuesday's Proctor Community Band Concert and help the Proctor Food Shelf.

Instead of buying tickets, concert-goers can attend by giving food such as canned soup and peanut butter. All donations will go to the Proctor Food Shelf. In some recent weeks food shelf use in Proctor has tripled over normal demand.

Tuesday's concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Proctor High School auditorium. The program will feature marches, classical pieces and the themes from "Dragnet" and "Gunsmoke."

We welcome your submissions and suggestions. Drop us a line at Eh?, Duluth News Tribune newsroom, 424 W. First St., Duluth, MN 55802, or newsroom@duluthnews.com .
