Sammy blends teaching and performance into a magical and fun hour. This is an interactive event targeting 3-8 year olds, but is fun for all ages.

7pm - Marjorie Kelting
Marjorie Kelting, a Singer/Songwriter from Malone, plays original bluegrass and contemporary folk/Americana music. She is launching a solo career after years of playing with Miller’s Crossing, a bluegrass band she co-founded in 2004. Her rich and versatile voice is a beautiful finale to our Lawn Concerts this year.
This year’s Lawn Concert series is dedicated
to Hannelore Kissam.
Hanna served the Elizabethtown Social Center for decades, first as the financial secretary to the board of trustees, then as a trustee herself. Her fiscal management of the organization was impeccable, her care and concern for its mission was unparalleled, and she was a lovely human. She was a joy to work with and is dearly missed.
Lawn concert donations will be used to create Hanna's Garden in the northwest corner of the lawn. We hope to add benches and flowers near the beautiful blue spruce that Hanna helped plant in memory of the Lawrence family. We know it would make her happy for all of these things to join together in a garden.
