Weathersfield you just keep changing and it's good. So the BIG event is this
Saturday...the Annual Town Challenge, which team will capture the bragging
rights as the most knowledgeable bunch in town...you'll have to attend to find
out. I know a few teams have been brushing up on their sports and music trivia
in hopes of blowing the competition away. This should be a lively and
entertaining event. See you Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Weathersfield School
I had a wonderful Friday evening filled with music. First, I attended a fundraiser at the Hartland Elementary School. Local singer/song writer Jay Nash performed a benefit concert the help renovate the school's all purpose room for more music and theater productions.
Nash was joined by pretty much the whole student body for the show's grand finale.
Then I popped over to Damon Hall for an evening of music composed for four hand piano led by Daniel Weiser of "Classicopia." Weiser was accompanied by Philip Liston-Kraft.
