Lombardo Celebrates Fest with Stage Guests and Guards

Mayor Patrick Zielke presented Lombardo with a city key as festgoers enjoyed a mix of old and new tunes including Humoresque and Twilight Time. Lt. Marie Franke of Wisconsin Security Bureau paused near a refreshment stand while four guards watched the event, contrasted with a larger security detail for a past Edgar Winters appearance. Chester Nukaszewski and wife recalled listening to Lombardo on the radio in the 1930s.
