Mayor Ness Says Goodbye With Free Concert

Duluth Mayor Don Ness is leaving office on Jan. 4, 2016, and he’s going out with a bang.

In addition to meeting with the public at his many book signing events Ness, and his wife, Laura organized a free concert at the DECC, Wednesday night.

Mayor Ness said the even really came together in the last week or so and was just a way that he and Laura could give back and thank the community for eight years of support.

Several local bands played in the show and Mayor-Elect Emily Larson also gave a speech, during the event that saw Mayor Ness give the last formal address of his tenure.
