Love & Knishes Goes Al Fresco

SOUTHBURY — The public is invited to enjoy lunch and music al fresco for the next few weeks at the Love and Knishes Tuesday Lunch Program of the Federation-Jewish Communities of Western Conn.

Luncheons take place at noon at the Walzer Family Jewish Community Campus, 444 Main St North. Following the lunch under a huge tent behind this building there will be musical entertainment at 1 pm.

On June 22, guitarist/singer Larry Ayce returns to perform fun ballads, country music, old standards and special requests. On June 29, singer/songwriter Willie Nininger of Southbury appears in concert. He has played in clubs and concert halls across the United States and Europe and has a great reputation as both a folk humorist and top flatpick guitarist.

On July 6, Connecticut’s Bristol Old Tyme Fiddlers Club features more than a dozen musicians who will pick, fiddle, and strum through an amazing variety of tunes. In case of heavy rain on either of those dates, the lunch and music will be moved to the social hall at the United Church of Christ, 283 Main Street North, while renovations take place in the Walzer Campus social hall.

Lunch reservations must be made by Thursday for the next week’s program. There is a suggested donation of $5.50 for seniors, $8 for those under age 60. Call Debby Horowitz, Brownstein Jewish Family Service program director, at 267-3177, ext 105. The Love & Knishes program is sponsored by The Homesteads at Newtown, LLC.
