Hello neighbor.
Well, we just came off another successful Green River Festival, despite the rain. Happy 30th to the annual music and hot-air balloon event.
But, if you’re looking for more music enjoyment, there’s plenty here in the county. I’ve listed a few events below. What a great area we live in.
Have a wonderful weekend, folks!
SHELBURNE FALLS EAGLES at 52 State St. on the Buckland side will host the Old School Band tonight from 8 to 11 p.m. It’s a tribute to the music of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, so there’s going to be a little something for everyone. The cover is $5.
ERVING SENIOR AND COMMUNITY CENTER will hold a summer potluck dinner tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. at the center at 1 Care Drive (Route 63) in Erving. Enjoy a variety of summer recipes at the second Friends Potluck Dinner. Bring your favorite dish. Cake decorator Mackensey Bailey will demonstrate a variety of decorating techniques using fondant.
