— A packed house filled the grassy spaces of Robbins Island Regional Park on Tuesday evening, as the second free Rockin' Robbins concert of the summer series took place in Willmar. Sunshine, pleasant summer temperatures, a wide variety of food truck options and a pair of musical acts made for the perfect outing.
Early in the event, Miles 4 Mentors brought dozens of children together for one of its summer fun run events. At the same time, Pirates, Guitars & Beachfront Bars provided some beach vibes music while dressed in vibrant aloha shirts before turning the stage over to Free and Easy, who provided tunes to dance to well into the evening.
