Hootenanny Moves to Town Park
Due to the drenching rains of Hurricane Sandy, the Hootenanny has been moved next door to the Town Park. This will be a much drier, and partially covered venue. Lights and parking around the Little League Field will still be used, and it is a short walk through the "spooky" woods.
