IT’S BACK!!!!!!!

The 51^st Annual Yankee Homecoming

July 27 – August 3

The festivities may have been cut down by one day, but all the favorites are returning. There is something grand planned for every day. Old Fashioned Sunday, Family Day, Fireworks, and the Parade are just a few of the activities. To list everything would take up too much room, so checkout www.yankeehomecoming.com for complete listings and dates. I will tell you that the theme for this year is “Renaissance – A Family Affair” and that if you come, a good time is guaranteed.

MUSIC AT MAUDSLAY

If you haven’t already had your fill of music, here is something else to put on your calendar. Throughout the months of July and August, concerts will be held at the barn at Maudslay State Park. The music is varied and includes country music, jazz bands, and children’s music (That’s just a sample). Check out www.maudslayartscenter.org for ticket prices and calendar.
