Orono’s Webster Park to host library concert

ORONO – The Orono Public Library will present its annual concert at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 23 in Webster Park. The concert is free to the public and sponsored by the Friends of the Orono Public Library and the Orono-Old Town Kiwanis.

Julie and the Bug Boys will perform “Music with a Message.” Julie’s songs promote self-respect, manners, kindness, tolerance, safety and silly fun using many colorful props.

Julie Jameson Monroe of Orono has a degree in child development and social service. She believes singing is a powerful vehicle for positive messages.

The Bug Boys, entomologists Don Berry, drummer and Clay Kirby, bass guitarist, will be joined by new member Jim Artesani. All three are husbands, fathers and wild about jazz.

The Friends of the Library will be on hand at the concert to sell hotdogs, baked goods and balloons. Proceeds from the sale will benefit library programs. In case of rain the concert will be held on Friday, June 24. Donations of baked goods will be accepted on the day of the concert. For information call the library at 866-5060.
