Due to 1.5 inches of overnight rain, tonight’s American Fools concert at Rushville's Riverside Park Amphitheater Concert Series has been postponed. The lawn is saturated with standing water and would become difficult to navigate for both guests and food trucks. In addition, the forecast calls for a continued chance of rain during the event.

Stay tuned for updates as we work to reschedule the concert. We appreciate your understanding!
