CCB members only: Report to the Nicholson-Guenther Community Band shell at 1:30 pm to load the H.H. Dow music trailer and carpool over to the Dow Diamond for unloading. Due to road construction, the normal route is detoured. Drive south on Jefferson, take a right on Indian, left on Third, then right towards Loons parking lot. Stay along the brick wall and drive towards the restricted parking area south of the stadium. A traffic guard should let you through the barricade. Your white shirt and long black pants will convince him that you are with the CCB. Good luck.
