ARCADIA – Love songs and chocolate are on tap for the Sunday, Feb. 12, Round Barn Rendezvous at the Arcadia Round Barn. The Valentine’s Day jam session starts at noon and will continue until about 4 p.m.

Musicians of all skill levels are invited to bring their instruments and perform a favorite love song. Singer-songwriter Joe Baxter, who coordinates the live music at the Round Barn, will perform some of the award-winning love songs he has written and recorded through the years.

Admission is free but donations will be accepted for the maintenance of the barn, which was built in 1898 and is currently being refreshed with new red-painted wooden siding. Coffee and bottled water will be provided, and guests are welcome to bring a chocolate treat.

The Round Barn Rendezvous is held on the second Sunday of every month. Members of the Round Barn Ramblers, which is Baxter’s acoustic Americana band, perform every Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the downstairs museum.

The Round Barn is six miles east of Interstate 35 on historic Route 66 and is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum is staffed by volunteers, and the barn currently has openings for volunteers.

For more information about live music at the barn, call Baxter at 405-833-1350. For information about becoming a volunteer, call Volunteer Coordinator Kimberly Burk at 405-651-0240.
