Correction: The Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce mistakenly released the name of Jacob Kemler as a featured performer at the upcoming Rhythm Remix. The featured band is Driftless Music, of which Kemler is a member. The chamber regrets the error.
The Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce, along with its “presenting sponsor,” Riverstone Premier Event Center, has announced the return of Rhythm Remix.
This year, the family-friendly event will be held Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
According to information released by the chamber, “Rhythm Remix is a free, end-of-summer celebration that has become the largest annual fundraising event for the Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce. This year’s event will have a similar format to last year’s, with a family-friendly format featuring live music at five different locations.”
Live music venues will include Riverwalk Plaza, located behind Brock’s Riverwalk Tavern; Jones Market; Good2Go; Café Carpe and Mr. Brews.
Among entertainers scheduled to perform are: Karen Johnson, Noah Hittner, kids performer John Duggleby, Tapestry, Jacob Kemler, 7000apart, John Gay, The Krause Family Band, Tim O’Grady, Jr. and Eugene Gruber.
“Kids zone” activities will be located at Riverwalk Plaza and Jones Market. The zones will feature such activities as balloon animals and crafts, the release stated.
According to the release, event-goers are encouraged to get an “event passport” and collect stamps at five participating businesses or music venues to be eligible for a variety of prizes and give-aways.
More than 15 local businesses will host in-store specials valid only on Aug. 27, the release noted.
At the conclusion of the event, participants can return their passports to the Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce or participating businesses for inclusion in a prize drawing, which will be held Aug. 29., the release concluded.
The release further noted that this year’s Rhythm Remix is being made possible by several sponsors, including: at the “presenting” level, Riverstone Premier Event Center; at the “venue level,” Johnson Financial Group, Spacesaver Corporation, Jones Dairy Farm, Badger Basement Systems Inc, Bender, Kind and Stafford Dental, and Festival Foods; at the “kids zone” level, Enbridge Energy Partners and Maas Brothers Construction; at the “general event” level, Fort Community Credit Union, Homes for Independent Living, JM Carpets, mkCellular, Fort Tax Service, and W and A Distribution Services; at the “audio” level, SNT Tree Service, and as a supporting sponsor, Wisconsin Packaging Division.
