Can you believe it?! It is only June and so many events and wonderful people have come through our doors this year. Let's recap all the fun:

❤️ We hosted four Deane Little Bean Events with Pop's Culture Shoppe First Position Dance Studio The Green Free Library and Tioga County Master Gardeners giving children fun and educational experiences.

❤️ Tioga County seniors turned out in record numbers for 5 Golden Afternoon events featuring Music with 3D, Tami Guillaime & Gary Citro, and Ray Corse; stories with Bill Robertson and petunia planting with Yolie.

❤️ History has been brought to life by 3 amazing actors portraying key historical figures: Harriet Tubman, Abigail Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, entertaining and educating Tioga County school children by day and area residents by night. 3 more still to come!

❤️ Music and dancing have filled the Coolidge Theatre 7 times featuring groups House of Sterling and Velveeta, a jazz concert by the Endless Mountain Music Festival, three Wellsboro Community Concert Association concerts, and an unforgettable 90's dance party by .kinetik. The Great Lakes Wind Symphony offered intimate concert experiences with their Meet the Performer series in our grand community room.

❤️ We've had 2 of our 6 outdoor concerts: organic rock n roll by Yetsu and vocal performances by Wellsboro's Men's and Women's Choruses. Next up - Van Wagner!
