We are having a toy expo that’s open to anyone who wants to sell, trade, buy, and swap toys from 1960’s to current. This is an opportunity to bring a table filled with your favorite toys. Just bring a table and tell all your friends about it. Vintage toys are my favorite. Hint Hint! Come join us for a wonderful time. See you there.

The Music of Widespread Panic for Kids
SUNDAY, MARCH 24 • 12PM
TICKETS >> bit.ly/WSP-For-Kids
The Rock and Roll Playhouse, a family concert series hosted at historic music venues across the country, allows kids to “move, play and sing while listening to works from the classic-rock canon” (NY Times). Performing songs created by the most iconic musicians in rock history, The Rock and Roll Playhouse band offers its core audience of families with children age ten and under games, movement, stories and an opportunity to rock out in an effort to educate children and explore their creativity. The Rock and Roll Playhouse is an early and often first introduction to a child’s lifelong journey with live music and rock and roll. See you at the show.
The Rock and Roll Playhouse knows that little ears are sensitive, so we turn down the volume at our shows. However, all kids experience music differently and you may find that your child is more comfortable wearing hearing protection earmuffs, such as Baby Banz, which are available for purchase here.
