Earlier this week, Michelle Meywes over at Gapers Block pointed out the Highland Park Library's collection of Ravinia Music Festival posters. The library is currently in possession of many of the festival's posters, but they're still lacking a few ('84, '85, '86, and '95, for instance). Per their Flickr page: "The posters debuted in 1974 with a contest launched by the Women's Board of the Ravinia Festival. [Though some of the posters predate that year.] The Highland Park Public Library is interested in completing its collection of these unique posters. If you would like to donate a poster from one of the missing years, please contact the library at 847-432-0216 and ask to speak to the Library Director."

If you're in possession of one of these missing posters and feel up for donating them, feel free to contact the Highland Park Library. Or, if you see one you like, click over to the Ravinia gift shop and see if they have the year you're looking for.
