Concert on Townshend Common benefits church’s roof fund

TOWNSHEND — Little Eddie and the Giants are gearing up to perform their trademark classic country and blues on the Townshend Common on Saturday, June 8, from 7 to 10 p.m.

The event is a fundraiser for the Townshend Church. The building, built in 1790, recently landed a $15,000 matching grant from the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation.

All funds raised will go toward repairs to the roof structure, the exterior roof, and several smaller projects. Any and all donations are welcome. If you can't make it to the concert but would like to contribute, send a check to the Townshend Church, P.O. Box 273, Townshend, VT 05353.

Some food and drinks will be on sale, but feel free to bring your own along with whatever else you need to make it a comfortable, enjoyable time: chairs, blankets, picnic baskets, and lanterns, for example.

In the event of rain, the concert will be held inside the church.
