Open House and Potluck Jam
at Maplewood’s LET THEM EAT ART Event
Friday, July 10, 2009
6 - 10 p.m. at the Folk School

Our first Friday Night Potluck Jam was such a fun time that we’re doing it again, by popular demand. This time, we’ll have a tent set up outside for jamming both inside and out, and we’ll have crowds of onlookers to entertain!

We’re holding this event as part of the Maplewood’s Let Them Eat Art. Up and down Manchester and Sutton will be music, food, a costume contest, art shows, artists painting live, dancing, and more.

Participants, please BYOB and a dish to share.
