2012 Schedule
January 22, 2012, 2:00 p.m. - Music of the Civil War
Cathy Barton and Dave Para from Boonville, Missouri will entertain us with the music we know, and some we do not, to open the series in this Civil War celebration year. Barton and Para have been regular performers on Mississippi steamboats for years and you will not want to miss their energetic performance! Compliments of Margo Broehl, Attorney at Law
February 19, 2012, 2:00 p.m. – Meet Alexander Hamilton
Currently Secretary of the Treasury in the Washington administration, Mr. Hamilton has learned of the appearance of Thomas Jefferson in Wooster some years back. Mr. Hamilton has asked if he might appear in our hall and provide a few corrections to Mr. Jefferson’s point of view, especially concerning the financing of our new government. Compliments of an anonymous donor
March 18, 2012, 2:00 p.m. – Bob Milne: Ragtime Music
Bob Milne played his brand of ragtime music some years ago and our old Boston piano is still shaking. Milne has played for our troops here and abroad and for presidents. He is much in demand and promises to provide a stirring program of the ragtime music that will leave us breathless. He will be playing from the time he walks into the room until the time he leaves, even while he is talking. Compliments of The Leisy Family
April 22, 2012, 2:00 p.m. – Back Porch Swing Band
Back by popular demand, the Back Porch swing Band will provide another great performance of Blue Grass music that will keep us tapping our feet and maybe even singing along on our old favorites. The band will again include Adam Jackson, five times Ohio State Fair fiddle champ. This will be a great program to end this years’ series! Compliments of PNC Bank
