Christmas Season 2021 Upcoming Events

Betsy

During the holiday season we try and give back to the community. One thing we do each year is donate time to play some live Christmas music for the Salvation Army donation kettles at Shoprite and Walmart (and K-Mart before they closed). Having live music there really does help increase donations for the Salvation Army during their holiday season fund drive and it’s fun too!
