Hey Hey Club Big Band Concert

In the 1930’s and 40’s America swung to the sounds of the big bands; Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Tunes like “Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me,” “Caravan,” and “Take the A-Train.” And no place was more swingin than the Hey Hey Club in Kansas City. America also loved music from the American Songbook: Paul McCartney’s favorite composer, Cole Porter’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” or Harold Arlen’s “If I Only Had a Brain, “ from the Wiz of Oz. Aptly named,  the 7 piece Hey Hey Club swings that music for your pleasure. We invite you to join us on June 25th, 2pm, at the Tilton Library stage. This program funded by the Deerfield Cultural Council.

Dinosaurs in Deerfield; Reading the Rocks

Tilton Library 71 North Main Street, South Deerfield, MA, United States

Presented by Amherst College students. Scientists examine rocks to learn about life in the distant past. Some rocks tell us a bit about what critters may have looked liked, while other rocks give us a sense of what the critters used to do. Some of the first people to notice these special rocks once lived and worked in Deerfield many years ago. One of the earliest discoveries was made by a local teenager. Explore fossils and gems from the Rock, Fossil and Dinosaur Shop.
