Summer Concert Series Draws to a Close [PHOTOS]

MEMO's summer concert series ended Thursday night with a performance by "Songs for Ceilidh."

"Songs for Ceilidh" filled the grounds of the town gazebo with lively Celtic music as well as Cape Breton-inspired originals on a pleasant summer evening. The audience was filled with families having picnics; adults socializing; children running, laughing, and playing around -- overall, it was a true picture of small-town America. Enjoy the Patch photo album of the event; with all those pictures and videos, you're likely to see someone you know.
