All members of the community are invited to attend a May Day event this Sunday, May 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. either indoors (in the case of rain) in the large studio or outdoors on the lawn at Gil Boro’s Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds at 80-1 Lyme Street in Old Lyme.
Apart from the pleasure of good company and great music, the purpose of the event is to hear the latest information on the proposed high speed rail track routes from Washington DC to Boston, which are currently under discussion. One of the alternatives being considered, Alternative 1, travels through Old Lyme.
There will be a great line-up of finger-picking musicians with Ramblin’ Dan Stevens, Clayton Allen and friends, the Localmotives with Eleanor Robinson, the Shrivers and friends.
Feel free to come by a little early, the music should be playing by 1:30 p.m. The event will be shutting down at 4 p.m., but the music will carry over afterwards at the Bee and Thistle Inn from 5 to 8 pm, with Stevens and Allen.
Parking is available in Lyme Academy College next door.
