Community Concert
Sept 19th 2 pm Bruce Cosacchi is bringing his Whiskey Creek Jazz Band from Keyport to the Community Center to continue our Sunday music events at the Center. This is the first time this band has performed outside of their Keyport venue.

Bruce is supporting his Greater Hansville Community with this concert to benefit the Center.

Many of us have enjoyed Bruce locally in Driftwood Key and Kingston’s Waterfront Park. We have made the drive to Keyport on the first Tuesday of the month to hear Bruce and his group perform toe-tapping Dixieland blues and swing. You’ll just need to drive up the hill for this treat. Plan to buy a glass of wine or enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or a soft drink while you relax on a fall afternoon. Bring a non-perishable food item for .

Sept. 23 & 24 The book sale takes place twice a year in spring and fall.

The books are arranged by genre in alphabetical order by author for your easy browsing.

October Fest
