Avon Free Public Library

Swan Publishers and Avon Free Public Library in Avon, Connecticut, announce that award-winning author Peter J. Marzano will appear on Monday, July 20, from 2 to 3 p.m.
The presentation explains the author’s research on the changes in Germany during the 1920s and 1930s that resulted in the rise of the Nazi Party. It also provides information about the German-American Bund’s efforts to create a Nazi Youth Camp in Southbury, Connecticut, and details about Eugenics research in Connecticut, which was supported by two state governors and sparked interest in a policy of sterilizing immigrant women.

Attending is free. While registration isn't required, it helps with seating arrangements.

Rhythm City at New Britain Summer Concert Series

Battell Music Shed

Join conductor Gabriel Löfvall for 'From Roots to Promise: Singing America at 250,' a powerful choral performance featuring Cecilia McDowall's 'Everyday Wonders' and Carol Barnett's bluegrass mass, 'The World Beloved.' This diverse program will be accompanied by fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and bass, with tickets available for $35 or $30 for students and seniors. Tickets available on website.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://litchfieldcountychoralunion.com/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">PURCHASE TICKETS HERE!</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;This unusual programming highlights the irony of a Syrian/Kurdish handicapped woman being able to receive asylum from war torn Aleppo in, of all places, Germany, while we, in the United States, under the present Administration have asylum bans on such countries as Syria and Haiti! We make hauntingly beautiful music as prayer for the time we can, once again be that country of Promise; a Land of Milk and Honey; Opportunity; Safe Harbor.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" from Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus" on the base of the Statue of Liberty.&nbsp;

<ul><li>Only the 2nd Performance of "Everyday Wonders" </li><li>Bluegrass Mass is a unique blend of Americana and the English/Irish Immigrant influence</li></ul>

Mill Street Marketplace

The Solstice Market is all about that late-summer feeling 😏 warm, a little chaotic, and full of really good finds. We’re bringing together a mix of artists, vintage curators, oddity artists, and small businesses that actually put time and care into what they make!
No AI, no reseller junk, no mass-produced nonsense!! Just real people making real things.
We’ll have tattooing happening during the event with flash designs available, plus the Taste Garden Cafe food truck and Caffeine Coven keeping everyone caffeinated per usual 😈
This is all happening at Mill Street Marketplace, which is home to 80+ permanent vendors inside, so there’s a ton to explore beyond the outdoor market as well. If you’ve never been, it’s basically a full day of wandering and finding things you didn’t know you needed.
Come hang out, take your time, and expect to leave with something good 😍
