They will join with other Youth members from all over New England and spend two days working in local outreach programs. Then they will travel to Purdue University to participate in the National Youth Event.

| Music 'pon a Sunday Evening |  THE MONADNOCK FOLKLORE SOCIETY presents a very special Father's Day Concert featuring "ON THE HOUSETOP" on Sunday, June 17th at 7:30 pm in the Nelson Town Hall.
We're excited about bringing back "Housetop" to the Nelson Town Hall!
"Housetop" is a harmony singin', swingin' string band quartet based in Southern Vermont. The group consists of Naomi Morse on vocals, fiddle and mandolin, Erica Morse on vocals and upright bass, Anna Patton on vocals and clarinet and Peter Siegel on vocals, guitar and mandolin.
"Housetop" performs a lively, quirky program of swingy, bluesy, old time American music. Much of Housetop's repertoire is from the 30s and 40s - a high point of American song writing as performed at the time by stars like the Ink Spots, The Boswell Sisters, Fats Waller, and Fred Astaire. It was a time of great musical craftiness: close harmonies and clever, concise lyrics. It's also the music with which entertainers strove to sing and dance the people's cares away, and there's an undertone of hard times, treading the line between sincerity and satire. In the irreverent spirit of Vaudeville, Housetop makes these songs their own, along with whatever else scratches their itch, including jug band tunes, songs penned by Bob Wills, Dan Hicks, the Roches, and their own originals. They round out their program with hot instrumentals: Peter and Erica set the groove for Anna and Naomi's wild renditions of raggy fiddle tunes and little-big-band breaks.
Admission is $12/9 (senior, youth & advance internet). Contact The Monadnock Folklore Society for more information.

| Ice Cream Social & Local Music |  Join us on Saturday, June 23rd, at 5:00 pm for a delicious Ice Cream Social. This Ice Cream Social will be quite the event, highlighting our hometown musicians. As of this publishing, the program will feature Gordon Peery and Lisa Baglione and their band, as well as performances by Hunt Smith and Allison Aldrich.
We hope you will mark this date on your calendar so that you can enjoy some yummy ice cream and toppings and some good ol' home-grown music. Portions of the proceeds will go to the Youth Group in support of their upcoming trip.
