Music will be provided by The Livingston-Blackiston twins, Sky and Sandy, and by Mike Pagnani and Friends.  A menu of hot dogs, chicken, local potatoes contributed by Staron Farm and fresh corn contributed by Holmquest Farm, salads, and home baked desserts will be served.  Call 518-567-8832 or email elearnorrestorationproject@gmail.com for tickets — only $15!  You may also purchase them at Anglers Marine at 12 County Route 31 or atbBruno’s in Hudson.  Tickets must be purchased before August 29.
