We are now in the hot and muggy part of the year, and that means that many people are looking for STUFF TO DO so that they don’t melt into their couches.  Here’s a few suggestions…

Friday Tim Courts plays during happy hour.  Later on Friday the Glass presents Sean Richardson and Trey Ilderton.  Saturday singer/songwriter Emily Psycher performs at 9 PM.
