The City of Shelbyville Board of Works praised D.L. Sanders for a successful downtown music event Sunday.
Sanders appeared before the Board of Works Tuesday morning at City Hall to thank the city for the support of a 12-hour music festival that featured multiple bands performing in downtown Shelbyville.
“I was down there a couple of different times of the day and all the people I talked to were having a nice time,” said Shelbyville Mayor Tom DeBaun, who is a member of the Board of Works. “The feedback that I got was all very positive.”
Sanders utilized both downtown shelters as stages for bands to perform at alternate times throughout Sunday.
“I was over there several times and from my background I was looking at your transitions for the bands,” said Board of Works member David Finkel. “That really worked out well. I had a great time. I heard some great music.”
Sanders estimated approximately 2,000 people attended the event.
