Bob Bayers
Bob, is the creator of the 9-11 Tribute Concert. Bob announced last year that he was retiring from actively producing the 9-11 Tribute. "It was a great 10 years and I deeply appreciate the support from everyone. I'm giving the concert to the community and I hope some will feel inspired to want to form a committee that will continue the legacy we have all started." Bob's dream of the 9-11 Tribute continuing on is alive in the newly formed Minnesota 9-11 Tribute.
Please plan on attending the 9-11 Tribute each year on September 11th at the Band Shell. - God Bless America
