SUMMARY:Wellsboro Community Concert Association presenting Autumn Sun
DESCRIPTION:This Friday\, Aug. 11 at 6 p.m.\, the free outdoor summer concert series will feature Autumn Sun performing a mix of Americana\, progressive and folk music on the outdoor stage at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. The outdoor stage is located on the Central Avenue side of the building. \nThe Deane Center’s summer outdoor series includes concerts by different artists from throughout the area on consecutive Fridays\, now until Sept. 1 thanks to the support and generosity of the Wellsboro Community Concert Association and Ward Manufacturing. \nThe Ithaca Music scene introduced Autumn Sun in 2020 as its brand new pandemic baby and described the band’s music as “blurring the lines between Americana and New Folk. Autumn Sun reaches deep into the heart…original songs with substance and story…classic folk songs given new life and made fresh with harmony and haunting bold new instrumentation.” \nAutumn Sun includes five musicians. Susan Murphy is a New York City composer lyricist whose works have been performed from Lincoln Center to Off Broadway theatres\, to national theatre tours and numerous folk rock bands. She plays keyboards\, pipes and whistles. Murphy now brings her originals to Autumn Sun\, along with her unique brand of instrumentation and color to the mix. \nMargaret Ball is often heard playing her fiddle for English Country Dances. Autumn Sun stole her from the world of traditional playing. Check out her heartfelt solos\, great fiddle rhythm\, and beautiful back up harmonies. \nCurtis Kretz is Autumn Sun’s pulse on drums and percussion\, keeping the band tight and right. From folk to rock\, his tasty beats are beautiful and perfect for every song Autumn Sun presents. \nLead vocalist Sue Horowitz is breaking out originals on national folk radio charts and national tours. She brings her beautiful vocals\, originals\, and great guitar playing to the band. \nOriginally from North Carolina\, Joseph Rayle played everything from Old Time to Americana to full on rock. Now in central New York\, Rayle has been bringing his bass lines to bands such as Urban Horse Thieves\, Answer The Muse\, and his latest venture with Autumn Sun. \nAutumn Sun is rising. Be there. \nAudience members are welcome to bring lawn chairs and sit on the grassy area in front of the outdoor stage or on Central Avenue\, which will be closed to traffic between Main Street and the Warehouse Theatre from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. \nIf weather becomes an issue\, this free concert will be cancelled. \nThe last three free outdoor concerts in the series coming up on Fridays at 6 p.m. are: Sweats on Aug. 18; Houston Baker on Aug. 25 and Joe Stanky & The Cadets on Sept. 1. \nFor more information about the free concert series\, call the Deane Center at 570-724-6220\, email office@deanecenter.com or visit deanecenter.com.

SUMMARY:Whey Jennings
DESCRIPTION:Whey Jennings performs a tribute show to his grandfather\, Waylon Jennings. Whey Jennings grew up in a family full of country music royalty. His grandfather\, the legendary Waylon Jennings and grandmother Jessi Cloter both had major success in the major music charts for decades. Jennings is a “rough around the edges\, unpolished singer” with a voice as big as Texas. \n​Jennings is the oldest son of his mother Katherine and father Terry Jennings. Whey has always had a deep love for music since the first time he stepped foot on stage. Whey was just a boy when\, at one of his grandfathers show\, Jessi Cloter left a microphone on a chair backstage after the performing “Storms Never Last”. Young Whey picked up the microphone and pranced out onto the stage and began singing “Mamma Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys”. Whey’s grandpa Waylon shouted out “Hey hold up there Hoss…wait for me!” Waylon went to pickin’ and when the song was finished\, the crowd went nuts. It was on that day that Whey fell in love with music and as they say…the rest is history. \nTicket Sales OpenMonday\, May 1\, 2023$35 Front Row$30 Priority seating$25 General Admission(you must pay an additional $8.00 admission fee to enter the fairgrounds in addition to your concert ticket)

SUMMARY:Private Dark Sky Telescope Tour: Shamans and Saints
DESCRIPTION:The Perseids are coming! While the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower is mid-August\, meteors can be observed any time from late July through the month of August.  As the Earth intersects with the orbit of dust particles left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle in 1992\, visitors will flock to Cherry Springs State Park for a view of the spectacular results.  Watch the meteors streak across the sky as you listen to myths and stories surrounding historical beliefs about shooting stars and constellations. \n\nJoin us at Cherry Spring State Park to take in the splendor of a gold-rated International Dark Skies Park. Those interested in experiencing a more personalized\, small-group telescope tour of the night sky can join North Star Outdoor Guides for a private telescope tour of the night sky.  Participants in this program will be guaranteed ample telescope time without long waits; includes a discussion of the importance of dark skies\, a laser-guided tour of various constellations\, and telescope viewing.  Objects which may be viewed include planets\, nebulae\, red giants\, globular clusters\, galaxies\, and binary star systems. \nGroup Size: max. capacity 16\, not including children age 5 and under \nBring: Chairs\, bug spray\, and a small red flashlight.

You may put your name on a waitlist if the program is full. \nFee: $25/person (includes a $3 non-refundable processing fee); Children (age 5 and under) Free \n*** Payment is required within 24 hrs of your registration\, or your registration will be removed.  Payment can be made by following the link provided in the email you will receive after registering *** \n  \nThe program will be cancelled in the event of rain or overcast skies. \nWeather Policy: If weather or predicted overcast skies result in us having to cancel the program you will receive a refund minus the $3.00 non-refundable processing fee. (You will receive email notification of any decision to cancel the program in its entirety by 3:30 pm the day before the event)  We will do our best to utilize weather forecasts and the Cherry Springs Clear Dark Skies Chart (http://www.cleardarksky.com/c/ChrSprPkPAkey.html) to pre-determine if a program will be possible.  However\, due to the fickle nature of weather our best-made efforts may be thwarted\, and the sky may be overcast during your scheduled tour.  In the event\, your guide is unable to show you at least 3 deep sky objects you will receive a 50% refund. If preferred\, you can opt to receive a coupon\, valued at the fee you paid\, to be used towards a future program (good for two years) in lieu of a partial refund. \nParticipant Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your reservation before 3pm\, two days prior to the event you will be refunded minus the $3.00/participant\, non-refundable processing fee.  No refunds are given for no-shows or cancellations by the participant after 3pm\, two days prior to the event. \n— \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Private Dark Sky Telescope Tour: Shamans and Saints
DESCRIPTION:The Perseids are coming!

If preferred\, you can opt to receive a coupon\, valued at the fee you paid\, to be used towards a future program (good for two years) in lieu of a partial refund. \nParticipant Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your reservation before 3pm\, two days prior to the event you will be refunded minus the $3.00/participant\, non-refundable processing fee.  No refunds are given for no-shows or cancellations by the participant after 3pm\, two days prior to the event. \n— \nQuestions?

While the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower is mid-August\, meteors can be observed any time from late July through the month of August.  As the Earth intersects with the orbit of dust particles left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle in 1992\, visitors will flock to Cherry Springs State Park for a view of the spectacular results.  Watch the meteors streak across the sky as you listen to myths and stories surrounding historical beliefs about shooting stars and constellations. \n\nJoin us at Cherry Spring State Park to take in the splendor of a gold-rated International Dark Skies Park. Those interested in experiencing a more personalized\, small-group telescope tour of the night sky can join North Star Outdoor Guides for a private telescope tour of the night sky.  Participants in this program will be guaranteed ample telescope time without long waits; includes a discussion of the importance of dark skies\, a laser-guided tour of various constellations\, and telescope viewing.  Objects which may be viewed include planets\, nebulae\, red giants\, globular clusters\, galaxies\, and binary star systems. \nGroup Size: max. capacity 16\, not including children age 5 and under \nBring: Chairs\, bug spray\, and a small red flashlight.
