| Benefit Pot Luck & Coffee House
| Sunday, February 13th @ 6:00 pm
Nelson Town Hall
A large number of local musicians will be performing, and rumor has it that there will be an abundance of joke telling as well, as we come together to help our friend and neighbor, Mary Desrosiers.
Mary DesRosiers, dance caller, radio announcer, emcee, and vibrant member of our folk community, lost her home, pets, and all of her possessions in a house fire on November 30th. You can read details about this at marydesrosiers.com.
While this event is intended as a small fundraiser (a donation of $5 is requested), it is largely a time to come together, have some fun, and show support for Mary and her family.
Performers who will be appearing (so far):
Allison Aldrich and Hunt Smith
Alouette Iselin
Kim Wallach
Julie Snow
Gordon Peery
Tim Mowry & Steve Jones
Deke Conklin and Max Nunnemaker |
