Congratulations to Graamans, pianist for a fantastic cabaret at the truly beautiful Summit Community Center on Saturday! The audience was tapping their toes and on their feet dancing. What a beautiful reason to dress up! It was such a wonderful night and we are grateful to Milo for donating half the door to Festival. Thank you, Milo, and we're so glad to have you on staff again this year!
