🎶 Music With a Mission: More Than a Concert 🎶
Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 7th because this isn’t just a music event, it’s a movement with a purpose. 💥
When we launched Music With a Mission, it wasn’t just to bring incredible live music to our town (though we love that part too!). We started this annual concert to rally our community around two meaningful goals:
🚒 Raising funds for a much-needed new fire engine for our dedicated local fire department. These brave men are first on the scene when we need them most and they deserve the best tools to keep us safe.
🎭 Helping build a permanent amphitheater at Lake Pittsfield, where future concerts, community plays, dance recitals, and other performances can come to life in a space built for connection and creativity.
This concert doesn't just uplift our community; it helps it grow. Each year, we hope to bring people from all across the state to visit Pittsfield for Music With a Mission, bringing fresh energy and support to our local shops, restaurants, and small businesses. 🛍️🍔
The moment you all have been waiting for....... our Headliner is Little Texas!!!!
Tickets go on Sale August 1st.

❤️ Introducing the “Locks of Love” Sculpture at the Lake ❤️
We’re excited to share a new addition to the lake, our Locks of Love sculpture! This special piece is more than just a beautiful spot by the water, it’s a place to honor love in all its forms.
Whether you’re celebrating a special bond, remembering someone you’ve lost, or simply marking a moment that matters, we invite you to add your lock or tag to the sculpture.
🔒 How to participate:
1. Bring a lock or tag from home, or pick one up at a local shop.
2. Write your names, initials, a date, or a short message, whatever speaks to your heart.
3. Clip it onto the sculpture and leave a little piece of love behind.
This isn’t just for couples, it’s for best friends, families, and anyone who wants to honor a loved one who’s passed away. Every lock tells a story, and we can’t wait to watch this sculpture grow into a symbol of community and connection.
A huge Thank You to John Wood Community College welding class for making this and Doug at Doug's Bump Shop for painting.
