The final drum circle of the season at Fifty West Brewery will be held at 6 p.m. The event is free to attend and open to the public.
If you feel like heading to Wilmington I found an event for you named Hobbit Hoedown, a “hobbit-themed dance and party featuring traditional Celtic and English folk dances, games, refreshments, and a talent show by firelight.” Tickets are $30 and they are available on Eventbrite. If you want to participate in the talent show email larpshirebusiness@gmail.com with your name and a brief description of your act. The dress code for the evening is no modern clothing and if you attend I need a full report.
Sunday
The Renaissance Singers cordially invite you to “TV Time,” a concert featuring the group's renditions of your favorite TV musical themes. The concert will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 10, in the basement of the First Presbyterian Church. Admission is free, and ice cream sundaes will be served.
Looking ahead
My Beginning Comedy workshop begins on Sept. 11 at Ohio University Chillicothe from 6 to 8 p.m. The class is held on three consecutive Monday evenings. Visit ohio.edu for more information. The workshop costs $40 and space is extremely limited. Registration ends on Sept. 8.
Until next time. I hope to see you out and laughing.
