St. Kieran will host local jazz favorite, Berlin Jazz in its 17th annual benefit concert. In addition, the Material Girls of the Berlin Quilters Guild are currently exhibiting their works in the main hall. Come and check out the show and the exhibit, meet a few friends, have a cold beverage from our adult beverage bar, a hot beverage and/or a snack baked by our awesome team of volunteer bakers!
The jazz band, in existence since 1987, has amassed a library of over 200 selections. Among the selections for Saturday’s concert are All of Me, Stardust, My Funny Valentine, Sing, Sing, Sing and Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars.
“We have such a great book of music, we could play for more than 10 hours non-stop” claims the group’s president, Monique Lavertu. “It’s becoming increasingly difficult to select the play list for a 2-hour show: a great problem to have!”
Berlin Jazz has been blessed over the years to have many talented North Country musicians join the ensemble. The 18+ musicians that now fill their ranks donate their time each week for rehearsal and play for the love of music.
To show their support for the arts in the North Country, Dr. Jerry Rittenhouse, his wife Lauren, and sister Connie will present a free concert of classical music at the Tillotson Center. Among the works planned are selections from Mozart, Saint-Saens, and Edvard Grieg.
The entire park is transformed into a magical Halloween adventure, and Santa is usually here at this time, to see all of the children in costume, and those thinking ahead to Christmas.
Bring your children to celebrate this holiday in a safe and friendly atmosphere. There are “spooky” areas for the older children; some “fun” areas for the younger goblins. It’s a treat not to be missed. Shops cater to the Trick or Treaters, and it’s much more fun if you arrive in costume. Even many of the Silly Helpers are dressed for the occasion. Rides and food shops will be open too. It’s silly. It’s spooky. It’s Halloween at Santa’s Village.
Admission is $27 per person, with children ages 3 and younger free. This includes all rides and festivities for the day.
