Jammin' On The Porch September 10th
Don't miss the last Jammin' on the Porch concert on Friday, September 10th. from 5:30 - 7:30. Bring a picnic dinner, drinks, a blanket, camp chairs, your family and friends.
Vicki Mecozzi and the Wooden Nickel Orchestra are all about great music and fun and not necessarily in that order. The group gets its name from Vicki's Grandpa Fritz. Every time she kissed him goodbye he would say, "Be a good girl now. Keep your nose clean. And, dont take any wooden nickels". He didn't say don't "be a Wooden Nickel". The band plays a fine array of folk, country, bluegrass, jazz and swing tunes. This concert comes with a yodeling alert.
