Your Week, Simplified: Geezer Concert, Bluegrass, Fix-it Fair and Bridge.
Few library events consistently attract 400-plus people every year, and one of them happens Saturday SEPT. 7 on the Library Center patio. It’s Geezer, the local cover band that plays rock tunes from the ’60s-’90s.
Geezer Fall Fest is 6:30-9 p.m. on the patio (in the auditorium if it rains). All ages love this free concert because the music crosses generations. And Geezer is just that good.
Arrive early for a comfortable seat and a snack at the Mudhouse. Or bring a lawn chair or a blanket and relax on the grass. Returning Geezer are Richard Struckhoff, Mark Ellman, Jana Henderson, Rusty Swift, Duane Lewis and Dave Sharon. The concert is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
