More Info on the Benefit Concert - April 25

The Benefit Concert for the Eddington Fire Department (which also serves Clifton) on April 25 will feature Anna Mae Mitchell & the Rising Tide. Show starts at 7pm. There will be refreshments and a 50/50 Raffle.

Legislative Rep., Ben Pratt, who's also a member of the Eddington Fire Dept., will be a Special Guest. I expect we'll be seeing members from the Holden Fire Department in attendance as well since that department often works with the Eddington crew. Considering the number of times our EMT crews are called out and the ever-present potential for home and structure fires, we're fortunate to have such dedicated men and women in our midst. This will be our turn to show our appreciation and support of them.

Donations at the door - will be $20. for families, $10. for individuals, and $5. for children under 12.

If you liked the musical score from the George Clooney movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou", you're going to love the sound of this group. There's Bluegrass and Folk Art with an undertone of mountain women. Just watching the members of the group swap their instruments between guitars, percussion, bass fiddle, mandolin and banjo while listening to the female vocal trio is impressive. You can download some of their music for free by checking the group out on Google.

Dress warm because Comins Hall is a bit cool as I recall, and feel free to be comfortable because the folks there are friendly and down to earth - like the music you're sure to enjoy.

BTW - the new restrooms will be finished and ready for inspection as well as the second floor being more handicapped accessible. It should be a good night and fun for all not to mention doing something good for our Fire Department that's seen some positive changes this past year.
