With the Flower City Ukulele Cruise now postponed until Monday, July 20 – there will be some extra seats available. If you were originally not participating but are available for the new date – we’d love to have you join us! This will mean more people to enjoy strumming and singing together – and will also help us recoup some of the lost cost of refunded tickets too, so we can put together future events!
