“Our yearly love fest in Louisville CO went off in spectacular form tonight...
...this is why we do what we do.” So says MarchFourth’s June 17 Facebook post. Summer 2016 started with a parade down Main street featuring the always amazing M4 and supported by several hundred of their closest friends. What a gas. Hot Buttered Rum got their groove going on a beautiful summer night June 24. In our humble opinion, this world can’t go wrong with a few more love fests. See all you flower children soon.
