The 2011 edition of Rhythm On The Rails got off to a rousing start with the popular band Girls On Top! The cool weather didn’t discourage the band’s loyal following.

If you notice a tip jar at the margarita tent be assured that the money is going to a good cause. Funds collected at each concert will go to a different Niwot area non-profit each week. The $297.50 proceeds from the June 9 concert tip jar went to the Niwot Cultural Arts Association’s proposed Sculpture Park fund.
