font-family:Arial'>Hello everyone! Thanks to many of you, last month&#8217;s
Jazz on the Portico concert was a great success and we expect no less this
month! Tomorrow, Wednesday July 29, come enjoy the jazzy sounds of local group
Apothecary. The FREE concert runs from 7 &#8211; 8pm and you are welcome to
purchase dinner on the grounds prior to the show. Or, if you&#8217;ve got your
picnic basket handy, bring along your own favorite munchies. There&#8217;s a
chance of some unsettled weather tomorrow, so we&#8217;ll move the concert
inside if need be. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
