Celebrating 50 years, the Brothers Four were pioneers in the musical movement which came to be known as the "folk revival", and of the few groups from those times still performing today, they remain one of the best known and most popular.

Their all-acoustic presentation consists of guitars, banjo, mandolin, upright bass, and of course the trademark rich blend of their four voices. An evening with this quartet is an unforgettable time of pure, acoustic music and entertainment. Read more about the Brothers Four at www.BrothersFour.com.

Northshore YMCA Play, Learn & Connect "Healthy Kids Day"
Saturday, April 27
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

YMCA Summer is a time of active play and exploration for kids. But for some kids, exposure to activities that stimulate the body and mind ends with the school year. In fact, research shows that kids are more prone to gain weight and fall behind in studies over the summer months.

As part of the Y's commitment to strengthen community by addressing critical gaps in health and education, Healthy Kids Day� will encourage kids and parents to commit to keeping the body and mind active this summer. With 1,900 Ys hosting free Healthy Kids Day events across the country, it's never been a better time to get up, get out and grow.
