TOWNSHEND — A fun afternoon of live music on the Townshend Common is planned for Saturday, Aug. 21, from 3 to 6 p.m., to benefit Valley Cares. Bring blankets and chairs and sit back - or cut loose your dancing feet - and enjoy three local bands.
On the bill is the New Orleans jazz of the Celebration Brass Band of Vermont, bluegrass and old-time favorites from the Alan Bills Family Band, and the classic jazz and improvisation of the Vermont Jazz Center Sextet.
Snacks and nonalcoholic refreshments will be available for purchase at the concert.
Tickets are available at bit.ly/625-valley-cares-benefit. Admission is $15 per person, $20 for two adults, and free for children under 12 and Valley Cares' residents.
All proceeds benefit Valley Cares, Inc., a community-based nonprofit that, according to its mission statement, is “committed to providing high-quality affordable housing and compassionate care, allowing seniors to age in place in the West River Valley with respect and dignity.”
