Urbana Days was celebrated this past weekend. Residents came out to enjoy the wrap-up on Saturday evening with a free concert on Main Street. The town came out and enjoyed several vendors at the evening concert. Many of you in the area know immediately who I'm talking about when I say, "The Schmidt Brothers." The band held the family-friendly concert with a mix of country, classic rock pop tunes.
