Was there a Pete Seeger tribute in your area?

I live in the Hudson Valley, home of Pete Seeger.
We have had several celebrations for the Seeger family.
The funeral was just held in Beacon.
I was curious if there were celebrations across the country.
If you celebrate the life of Pete and Toshi Seeger, please post a pic in this thread.
Have a great day DU!

And so we keep on while we live
Until we have no, no more to give
And when these fingers can strum no longer
Hand the old banjo to young ones stronger
And when these fingers can strum no longer
Hand the old banjo to young ones stronger

The radio station WFMT in Chicago that mostly plays classical music but had Studs Terkel's radio show and plays folk music on Saturday nights, had tributes to Pete.
