Itasca State Park the Headwaters of the Mississippi River

Our first night in the park we went to an outdoor concert and ice cream social.
The group "Unpolished" gave the outdoor concert. They performed a mix of Americana and Bluegrass music. The group covered many styles of folk music including music from the Civil War, old cowboy music, railroad songs, and gospel.
