There Are Now Two "Bon Iver Days" In Wisconsin

Eau Claire celebrated the second holiday yesterday.

Because one just isn't enough, singer-songwriter Justin Vernon and his band Bon Iver now have two of their very own days in the state of Wisconsin. The group, which released their fantasic eponymous album this past June, previously received the same treatment back on July 22. That was when the city of Milwaukee announced that it would be celebrating Bon Iver Day.

And yesterday, some five months later, a second Bon Iver Day was held in the city of Eau Claire, aka Vernon's hometown. He attended school there at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, which is probably why the two institutions got together to also make an official document praising Vernon and his band. You can view it at Pitchfork.
