Marc Douglas Berardo will be featured in concert on Sunday, September 25 at 1:30 p.m. at the Congregational Church. Berardo composes songs gleaned from real-life characters and situations.

Thompson for good measure. Attendance to one of his performances is an event that won’t be forgotten.
“August Rush” will be the featured film on Monday, September 26 at 6 p.m. at the library. This film is part of the “Music Is…” Dinner & Movie series.
Megan Miranda’s latest novel is “The Last to Vanish.” Abigail Lovett manages the Passage Inn in Cutter’s Pass.
