‼️IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM Muncie Three Trails Music Series:

Blue Moon Marquee, our headline act for this Saturday night's show, is based out of British Columbia. Due to the Air Canada strike, they are not going to be able to get to Muncie for the show, so THE BLUE MOON MARQUEE SHOW SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 16 IS CANCELLED.
Please support this fantastic group via their website and their YouTube channel:
https://BlueMoonMarquee.com
https://www.youtube.com/BlueMoonMarquee
Please get the word out in all the various ways you can about the cancelled concert so as many people as possible will be informed. This is the first time in the 12 years of doing the Series that we have had to cancel a show, so perhaps we were due. At any rate, my apologies to you and everyone, but please help get the word out. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
We very much hope that you will join us on Saturday, August 23rd for Vanessa Collier at the 2025 Muncie Three Trails Concert Series, our first concert at Brown Family Amphitheater on the campus of Ball State University.
Sincerely,
Rick Zeigler
Founder and Organizer, Muncie Three Trails Music Series

It may be safe to say that Muncie helped launch the NFL. 🏈

One of the 14 original NFL teams came from Muncie, Indiana. The Muncie Flyers, also known as the Congerville Flyers, were part of football’s earliest professional days.

While the Flyers folded after a short 20-year run, Muncie’s football spirit lives on today as the community rallies around our Ball State University Cardinals.

By Carmen Zermeno and Tony Winders When you travel with love in your heart — and a bit of curiosity — even the smallest of cities become rich tapestries of experience.
