This is the monthly membership meeting of the Adirondack Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society. It is free and open to the public. The February meeting will be where members of the group present their own gardening experiences. Later in the year there will be presentations by experts from all over the world.
We are so excited to share that—just in time for Easter—we’ll be launching Saturday services! Twice a month, we’ll gather for worship with those whose work schedules make Sunday mornings difficult.
Our heart is to allow for everyone to worship, grow, and stay connected to the body of Christ—no matter their schedule. We can’t wait to gather together and see what God will do through this new opportunity!
Multi-instrumentalists Bells & Motley (Sondra and John Bromka) return with another special holiday-themed concert. They are historical musical story tellers (as well as instrument makers, authors, and dance callers) who perform on hurdy gurdy, nyckelharpa, French bagpipes, harp, hammered dulcimer, squeezeboxes, assorted historic wind and percussion instruments (and voices). Their numerous topics include the Erie Canal, early music (they’re a founding ensemble at the Sterling Renaissance Festival near Oswego, NY), and world music (including the folk traditions of Netherlands, England, Celtic lands, Spain, Italy and perhaps more!). They have a wonderful gift for connecting to audiences of all ages with a musical mix of history, literature, fine arts, and artistry.
Joining them will be the Champeons of Folly, who will present a traditional mummer’s play.

This is a Contra Dance. These are based on English Dances and are much like Square Dances except groups can rage up to any number of groups by two. We will be on the 3rd Friday such as when Thanksgiving and Christmas prevent the 4th Friday. The Fiddlin's Fun Ceili Band will provide live music.Here's an example from an old venue:https://youtube.com/shorts/-H0ujj_tvzY
Expansion Pack performs the premier long-form comedy show in the Greater Binghamton area. Zany, interactive and fun! It's not stand-up comedy but unscripted, ensemble, comedy creations magically crafted from audience suggestions and no two shows are exactly the same! Act One, Welcome to the Cinema Saver is a unique long form originated here and created as a nod to the former occupants of the building. After a short intermission, Act Two features an interview with a volunteer audience member(s). The Expansion Pack players then incorporate details of that interview into a zany series of scenes that consume the entire second act!
Located in the former Cinema Saver/Burts building at 19 Madison Avenue in Endicott. Free large and lighted parking lot. Cheap snacks. Free door prizes. About half the ticket price of most area theaters and twice the laughs. Presale tickets available on Eventbrite and at the door starting at 7:30 pm.
