ShortGrass Music Festival
The ShortGrass Music Festival grew out of a wish to enjoy live music
without leaving town. We are committed to bringing a variety of fine, live music to local venues and area schools. Annually, we offer a scholarship to a regional graduating senior who plans to continue music study in college.
