Fridley Man Organizes 34th 'Concertina Bowl'

Fridley resident Art Ohotto has organized the 34th annual Concertina Bowl on Jan. 28, noon to midnight, at 12000 Hwy. 65 in Blaine, according to the Coon Rapids Herald.

It's a labor of love, he told the newspaper: “I’ve got a love affair with the concertina and I want to do everything I can to build it."

See Ohotto himself play the instrument in the video above. For more of Ohotto and the Concertina Bowl, see this YouTube channel.

“They look good on stage,” Ohotto told the Herald. “Everything about them is good.”
