“We are hoping to provide our community and its guests with a varied, enjoyable evening of music and merriment,” said event coordinator Jim Katovich. “In effect, admission into any of the entertainment venues can be had for $5.00, a good deal by any standards.” To find out where to purchase an all-access pass or for further information, please contact the village office at (518) 993-4271.
Funding for this evening was made possible, in part, with public funds from the Decentralization Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered through the TriCounty Arts Council.
Sounds like fun but there doesn’t seem like there’s much for children to do.
Gary Van Slyke is a great performer for kids, and storytime at True Value. What age kids are you looking to bring?
how old for the hs dance? ne1 know?
10 years old, he’s in that inbetween age.
Stone Soup is a good G-Rated Band, and Mickey Boslet will be in the social quarters of the VFW, not the bar area. And the scavenger hunt should be fun for him. I don’t know DJ Wayne Tucker, but if they have him at the clocktower, he should be family friendly for sure.
