The Candlelight Reading Series presents a program of Stories, Songs, Poetry of the EARTH on Saturday, August 26th, 2006 at 8 PM, inside the Fairfield gazebo at Central Park on the square. Come join us as we all sit down in a circle with candles inside the gazebo to enjoy stories about Mother Earth told by Tracy Chipman, songs sung by guitarists/songwriters such as Jeffrey Hedquist, Rob Anibal (or Stephen Harper), Tim Duffy, Erin Duffy, and poetry recited by Freddy Niagara Fonseca.
