Holly Near and Jan Martinelli.
This annual fest celebrating women in the arts â and serving as a counterbalance to under-representation in the music industry â debuted in 1974 on the campus of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and has been taking place in Middleton since 2008. As in 2020, the 2021 edition will be a virtual fest, streaming on the Mandolin platform, but thereâs a silver lining to the fest remaining online: a festival pass is a super bargain at $50. That includes four days of stage performances (including Holly Near & Jan Martinelli, Big Bad Gina, Tammy Lynne Hall and many others), as well as a plethora of workshops, talks, film screenings, open mics and more.

The number of COVID-19 vaccine shots given to children ages 12 to 15 has grown to 248,859 in a month, Illinois Department of Public Health records showed Wednesday.
There are 659,053 children in that age bracket, the IDPH reports, and more than 37% have received at least one dose since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Pfizer Inc. s two-shot vaccine May 10.
In comparison, on June 4 there were 158,811 doses administered to that demographic or 24%.
The latest numbers stand in contrast to the slower rollout of vaccines to eligible adults that started in late December but were subject to supply problems with a meager allocation of doses at first.
