In loving memory of Carol Hershey, the Hershey-Russo Family Combo and the Garden Players are back to shower you with song!! 

We are raising money for the Carol Hershey Memorial Fund which helps fund the Garden Players in honor of all the love and work she put into the Garden Players when she was with us.  We will also be honoring Rich Russo, Nick's Father, who we lost this year, by playing some of his original tunes, too!  **Suggested donation is $20 for adults and $10 for kids at the door, but please come enjoy yourself and donate what you can!  We'd love to see you there!!
