One of the highlights of the Milo High School Reunion Weekend is a coffeehouse hosted by Three Rivers Kiwanis of Milo and Brownville.
Ethelyn Treworgy, Kiwanis events chairwoman, wrote that doors open for the show at 6:15 p.m. Friday, July 1, at Milo Town Hall.
Tickets at the door are $8 each. The show begins at 7 p.m.
“Delicious desserts will be on sale, and drinks will be free,” Treworgy wrote, adding that “door prizes will be given away during the evening, and an enormous hanging plant will be raffled off.”
The show features Mac McHale and the Old Time Radio Gang.
“Their old-time radio songs include fiddled tunes, gospel songs, ballads that tell of depression, prison and train rides, and ballads that tell of love and heartbreak,” she added.
The show will also include Jay and Shane Smith, performing country music on fiddle and guitar as the Smith Brothers.
“They have roots in the town of Milo through their mother and grandparents,” Treworgy wrote of the young musicians, who live in Industry.
Proceeds benefit programs and activities the club sponsors for children and adults in Milo and surrounding towns that include: Reading is Fundamental for elementary schools, a children’s weekly library program; turning Milo Town Hall into an arts center; and building a gazebo on the Sebec River waterfront.
To help Three Rivers Kiwanis continue these worthwhile projects, Treworgy “hopes to see you there.”
