Sing Along: Harvest Festival and Block Party

Grange Harvest Festival and Block Party and Sing Along

Come sing! At about 2:30 PM this Sunday, September 7 during the Whallonsburg Grange Hall’s annual Harvest Festival and Block Party we will have a Sing Along of old favorites that (we hope) most everyone knows. (The Wannabes are temporarily down by one, so we are calling on all of you to join us…)

We have some old favorites – The Fox, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, This Land is Your Land, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, Take Me Home (Adirondack version), Blowing in the Wind, and of course, Puff the Magic Dragon…

But are there others you would like to have us all sing? Reply here with a couple of suggestions and we will do our best to include them.

You say you don’t sing? If there is a tune in your heart – you can sing… Hope to see you there!
