Admission discounts for canned goods to be donated to Family Of Woodstock’s food bank

Can parents, grandparents, tots, and grade-schoolers have a great time in one room, at the same time, support neighborhood businesses at a green event, and help the local food bank all at once?

Uncle Rock says YES. For four years he’s been entertaining all ages, both locally and nationally. Now, with the inception of the Bearsville Traveling JAMboree, he expands on his cross-generational approach with an old-school variety show designed to engage families as a whole, while also giving them a chance to interface with their community. Local businesses Lucky Chocolates and Kiss My Face Cosmetics will be on hand, and a bin will be provided for patrons to deposit canned goods for Family Of Woodstock – a canned good is worth $1 off admission.

On the bill for the debut of the Bearsville Traveling JAMboree will be host Uncle Rock and his band the Playthings, with guests Story Laurie & Ira MacIntosh telling tales and singing, the Woodstock Library Reader’s Theater reading selections from Alice In Wonderland a la old-time radio theater, and a selection of outstanding local elementary school musicians playing short
solo pieces.

What better, more economical way than the Bearsville Traveling JAMboree for families to beat the mid-winter blues and shake cabin fever? Uncle Rock invites one and all, young and old, to have a shared cultural experience, help those in need, and celebrate the richness of our communities. Come on out to Bearsville and jam with us.
