Thank you to United Way of Rock River Valley for choosing Midway Village Museum as the outdoor venue for its Music at Midway. The event was a private rental of the museum campus which provided greater community exposure to the museum and our Victorian Village to the several hundred guests attending and the greater Rockford region in the promotion of the special event. Special congratulations to United Way President/CEO Paul Logli on his retirement from United Way. Paul is also a Midway Village Museum Board Member and known for numerous other contributions to Rockford. Photo Credit: Patrick Yarbrough, Midway Village Museum Member+4
