Excited to once again MC the first municipal band concert of the year in Spencer. They do a great job. Hope to see you Thursday evening

We’re excited to invite you to our first summer concert this Thursday, June 4, at 7 PM! Join us at Westview Memorial Park, right by Johnson Elementary School. Special guest Jason Jacobs from Thrivent Financial will be joining us as our MC for the evening. Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs for a comfy spot to enjoy the music!

If you’d rather stay in your car, tentative parking is available in the Johnson School parking lot and along West 9th Street. Just a heads up, if it rains, we'll move the concert to the Southpark Mall.

Looks like rain might be in the forecast, so be sure to check our page for any updates or changes.

Thank you for your support of the Spencer Municipal Band this summer! We can’t wait to see you there!

Why consider waiting to claim Social Security?​

Waiting is essentially like buying more inflation-protected lifetime income, says Dr. Michael Finke, Professor and Frank M. Engle Chair of Retirement Security, The American College of Financial Services.​

In a conversation with Bjorn Larson, Thrivent’s Director of Financial Education, Dr. Finke shared how delaying your Social Security claim could meaningfully boost your long-term financial security.​
