The Raymond Arts Alliance is hosting a fundraiser on
Saturday July 21 at Hacker’s Hill in Casco.
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.
The fundraiser will benefit the Raymond Arts Alliance, 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
our 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
please visit: www.raymondvillagelibrary.org/raymond-arts-alliance/
The fundraiser is being
held in cooperation with the Loon Echo Land Trust, which cares for Hacker’s
Hill – a privately owned public space offering spectacular panoramic views of
the Sebago Lakes Area, located on Quaker Ridge Road in Casco, approximately 2
miles south of Route 11. The service road is open all day until dusk and
parking is available at the top of the hill. The music will start at 4:00 p.m.
and end around 5:30 p.m. There will be a 50/50 raffle, and prize drawings. 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.
