March 27 at 7:30 pm ($5-10 sliding scale) at the Cummington Community House 33 Main Street, Cummington MA 01026
For the third year, I will hold a concert and community event to coincide with Earth Hour, “a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community to stand up, to show leadership and be responsible for our future.” Along with millions of others around the planet, we will douse the lights at 8:30pm for one hour.
Seems a good time for a night of music and community updates about living the sustainable good life: we’ll muse on personal and political change, and talk about what is going on in the Hilltowns re: our new coop, CSAs, farmers, local food, permaculture… and more!
This program is supported in part by grants from the Cummington, Worthington, Plainfield and Chesterfield Cultural Councils, local agencies which are are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. www.massculturalcouncil.org

The Hilltown Community Development Corporation (www.hilltowncdc.org) is a great organization here in the hilltowns of Western Massachusetts — its annual Spring Festival is one of my favorite events of the year. I’ve been singing Dave Mallet’s “I Knew This Place” for a couple of decades (www.davidmallett.com). Reminds me of my family’s connection to my grandparent’s land.
