New Canaan Library is turning up the heat on fundraising with its third annual Books, Blues & BBQ.. Tickets are going fast for the Friday, May 30 event so dust off the cowboy boots, grab your partner and get ready for a spectacular evening in support of New Canaan Library.

The evening kicks off at 7:00 p.m. to the live music of “Tangled Vine,” a local group offering a dance-inviting mix of rock, soul and rhythm and blues. “Go ahead and work up an appetite,” states Holly Parmelee, one of the event’s three chairs, “because Stamford’s own Dinosaur Bar-B-Que will serve its award-winning barbeque throughout the evening.” This all happens under festive white tents on the Library’s grounds– so the show goes on, rain or shine.

Benefit chairs for Books, Blues & BBQ are Maya Frey, Holly Parmelee, and Alicia Wyckoff, all of New Canaan.  According to Susan LaPerla, the Library’s programming director,  the co-chairs have become “a large part of the success of the Library’s fundraising events, and we are grateful they have come together again to provide this additional support to what is sure to be a special evening.”

To support this initiative please visit the Library website, newcanaanlibrary.org, for ticket information and levels of support. The Library thanks the entire New Canaan community for their ongoing support.

New Canaan Library’s mission is to enrich the town’s intellectual and cultural life by providing free and convenient access to information, fostering lifelong learning and encouraging the exchange of ideas.
