Taking a morning walk with your children before homeschooling today? Look for drawings of flowers on March 24th in your neighbors windows, greeting you from a safe distance as you walk our neighborhood streets!
Dreaming of summer and Kingfield PorchFest…join our virtual Tiny Porch Concert today at 2 PM at Butter Bakery Cafe’s Facebook!
We are kicking off our virtual Tiny Porch Concerts today with musical and neighbor Ben Glaros Music, streaming on Facebook live from our community partner Butter Bakery Cafe!
Although we wish you could listen live, the current quarantine means you will need to log onto Butter’s Facebook page to watch the solo performance. Ben is excited to share his music with you and the cafe is still open today and can welcome four people into the shop at one time for counter service.
This is the first in a series of short concerts performed by Kingfield musicians who have performed in our annual celebration called Kingfield PorchFest, which we anticipate happening this year on June 18th. We hope you will enjoy these concerts and look forward to the day when we can gather in community again to enjoy the talents and sounds of our community. Concerts will be archived for your viewing pleasure at www.kingfield.org.
Please note: Butter Bakery Cafe has also set up a sharing library in the front vestibule of their shop. If you have extra items that neighbors may need like a roll of paper towels, a can of beans, a bottle of hand sanitizer please feel free to bring it today as you walk the neighborhood and stop into the cafe for a cookie to go.
