CASCO — In co-operation with the Loo Echo Land Trust, the Raymond Arts Alliance will hold a fundraiser from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 21, at Hackers Hill, a privately owned public space offering panoramic views of the Sebago Lakes area.
The venue is Quaker Ridge Road, approximately two miles south of Route 11. The service road is open all day until dusk, and parking is available at the top of the hill.
This event will feature live music performed by the New England Jazz Band, a locally based big band dedicated to preserving and playing the “Great American Songbook” — music from (or in the style of) the Swing Era, written by world famous American composers like George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, etc. There will be a 50/50 raffle and prize drawings as well.
Food will not be provided, but everyone is encouraged to come early, bring a picnic and enjoy the magnificent views before, during and after the music.
Raymond Arts Alliance is a non-profit local group of artist/organizers, working as a program of the Raymond Village Library to bring arts to Raymond and to involve the local community in the arts, both as audience and participants. The Raymond Arts Alliance has presented numerous events this year including music, writing, comedy, singalongs and poetry.
Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $10 for adults and $3 for kids. All donations will be used for future programming for all members of the community. For more information about RAA visit www.raymondvillagelibrary.org/raymond-arts-alliance/
