Here's a nice thought on a chilly andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/north-dakotaandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;North Dakotaandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; day. Imagine yourself sitting outside in shorts, drinking lemonade in a park and listening to live music. It won't be happening this weekend...but just a few short months from now that will be the case for the first ever Integrity Jazz Festival in andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/minot-ndandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Minotandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt;. andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/perry-olsonandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Perry Olsonandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; has more on the details that are coming together. (Perry Olson - KX News) Music has been flowing through the offices at the Minot Area Council of the Arts jazz the sound that will be heard this summer for the first ever Integrity Jazz Festival. (Terri Aldridge - MACA) andamp;quot;It is something new...andamp;quot; (Perry Olson) A one day seven hour event for lovers of jazz in Minot's Roosevelt Park. (Steve Veikley - Performer) andamp;quot;We have vendors and artists and it will be under a tent so if it does rain there won't be a wet blanket thrown over the thing, you can still have the music and be there and enjoy it.andamp;quot; (Perry Olson) And that music will come from different groups from across the midwest headlined by the Jeni Fleming Trio from Bozeman...having a headliner and a full line-up is a big step in the preparation process. (Terri Aldridge) andamp;quot;The most exciting thing is that we have all the performers lined up and that was a concern.andamp;quot; (Perry Olson) Something like this takes money of course about 35 thousand dollars and the process of raising those funds continues...but it is going well...and it looks like this festival should be in Minot for good. (Terri Aldridge) andamp;quot;It won't be a one time thing. It will become and annual event.andamp;quot; (Steve Veikley) andamp;quot;We are looking to do it every year, and that will be montiored by how it does, but it is looking like it is going to be great!andamp;quot; (Perry Olson) The festival is set for Saturday, June 31st.
