Invitations and Good Cheer


After yesterday’s warnings, here are some invitations.

This Saturday at Abiding Saviour Lutheran Church, a concert by Kommuna Lux to raise money for Ukraine. They’re back again after last year’s successful visit and you’re invited.

From the event page :

Kommuna Lux brings you the heritage music of their beloved hometown. Klezmer, Balkan, and Urban Chanson, with a dash of Ukrainian Folk and powered by rocket fuel, Kommuna Lux impacts the crowd with a nostalgic, high-energy Big Band sound from the bygone days of speakeasies and rum runners.

Returning again after last year's successful fundraiser for Ukraine, tickets will be available online for $20 and a more limited number at the door as space allows.

To get a feel for their lively musical style, check them out at their website.

Tonight, at the Common Kitchen in Clarksville, host Kathy Barton is kicking off a Howard County Foodies Meetup group.



From the event page:

Connect with other local foodies while trying delicious international cuisines from local restaurants. Small plates and drinks will be available for purchase from all of our food hall restaurant vendors. This is a great opportunity to sample new dishes from multiple restaurants at an affordable price!

We welcome other local restaurant business owners and managers to attend this event to promote their Howard County Local Restaurant!

If you follow any of the HoCoLocal restaurant pages on Facebook you know we’ve got plenty of “foodies” of all sorts. This could be the beginning of a fun and even educational experience. 

I recently read a social media post from someone new to the area trying to figure out how to meet people and make friends. It strikes me that this is the sort of event that could foster new friendships. At any rate, it certainly sounds tasty.

One more. It’s this Saturday at the East Columbia Branch of the Howard County Library. 

Hi Tech STEAM Carnival, 10 am to 2 pm


From the Howard County Library Website:

Come one, Come All! 

For families. Play games and interactives, like Pinball and Skeeball, built by HiTech students. Participate in Paint-and-Sip or Build-and-Sip, ride a miniature train, and watch the car race, robotics challenges, and win prizes.

Stop by booths from local businesses and vendors, and don't miss the petting zoo! Food and beverages are available to purchase from local food trucks.

I said I’d be back today with cheerier news and I am. It turns out my day was made as soon as I woke up by a dear friend and reader of the blog who informed me that the new Louise Penny novel had been put up on the Howard County Library website. Because of her kindness I am number eight on the waiting list. 

Some folks get excited to score concert tickets or a reservation at a fancy restaurant. I’m entirely jazzed up by a new book at the library. 

Have a wonderful day. Oh, just for fun - - what kind of thing makes your day?
