Valley Pride Day – May 7th

NORTH CONWAY NH – Valley Pride Day is an annual litter clean up day in the Mount Washington Valley and western Maine that will take place May 7, 2022. Everyone comes out to clean a stretch of road in their community. Participating towns will each have a contact person who will provide a masks-on supplies distribution process. Follow our page for details.

The 2022 event is committed to keeping participants safe and thus will not be holding a large group public celebration. Every spring community members, young and old, come together and work to keep our corner of the world clean and beautiful.

Comedian Bob Marley – February 17th

Bob is not just our Maine comedian, he is one of the funniest people in the current world of comedy. His viral videos have thrust him into further popularity as one of the hottest and most sought after comedians in the country. But we are lucky he will still come to us! You know’em, you love’m…more than 15 years as a stand-up comic, Maine’s own Bob Marley has been featured in his own special on Comedy Central, and is one of the few comics to do the complete late night TV circuit: The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Craig Kilborn. But all those accolades aside, he is just one of us, and we can’t get enough of him. And geesh don’t we all need to laugh right now. Always a quick sell out!

The Gibson Brothers at Stone Mountain Arts Center – January 29th

BROWNFIELD, ME – This celebrated bluegrass duo — named back-to-back Entertainers of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2012 and 2013 — played the Nashville game two decades ago, while in their early 20s, and were offered a major label deal, only to be told at the last minute that they were too “retro” for modern country music. Today, such characterizations, along with their authenticity, set them apart and describes the marvelous Mockingbird.
