Ukulele Campfire Tune-Up
Want to feel more confident singing 'round the campfire and other gatherings? We'll bone up on some fun campfire sing-along tunes in this lighthearted 4-week course that finishes up in time for the Vergennes Campfire Sing-Along on August 26! This course is uke-centric, but if you want to join in with other instruments or just your voice to learn the songs, you're welcome as well. We'll explore ukulele techniques that you can apply to many tunes as we learn some great old and new favorites. It'll help if you can move with relative ease among at least the basic chords (A, C, D, E7, F, G, G7) and have a relatively steady strum. NOTE: We don't cover baritone or other instrument chords and techniques in this class and it's geared for high-G ukulele tunings. Ages 18+.

The Vergennes Parks & Recreation Committee together with the Vergennes Partnership need your help! Phase one of our Push to the Pavilion Project is very close to meeting our goal of raising $95,000! When we do, we will be awarded another $195,000 from the Hoehl Family Foundation for our Pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park. Outdoor spaces have never been more prized, and this space offers something for everyone in our community year round! Imagine basketball games even on a rainy summer afternoon, clean ice to skate on in the winter, outdoor movie nights, an outdoor classroom space free from rain and snow, and a whole host of uses of which we have yet to dream! Opportunities abound! | | |
