MARCH PROGRAM:Â
IT HAPPENED IN CONNECTICUT
Tuesday, March 10, 2015 6:30 p.m at the Meriden Public Library, 105 Miller St. Meriden, CT
Join former CT State Troubadour, Mike Kachuba as he sings about the lesser known people and events that shaped Connecticut history. Hear about Goody Bassett, the witch of Stratford, The Leatherman, Jack Arabus and other heroes and villains. Mike will demonstrate a wide variety of stringed instruments such as the hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar and more in this educational and very entertaining program.
This program is co-sponsored by the Meriden Public Library and is free to the public. Refreshments will be served.
AT THE ANDREWS HOMESTEAD
This just in: The city has decided to convert the oil burner at the Andrews Homestead into gas. That should help us save money on heating cost.
A NEW STORAGE SPACE AT THE RESEARCH CENTER
Thanks to a generous grant from the Meriden Foundation, we added a beautiful barn-red shed. The new shed will serve as a safe, all weather venue for our May through October second-Saturday-of-the-month tag-sale/Flea Market fund raiser.
