Art Matters
Post Impressionism Like a stone dropped into a calm pond, the ripples from the revolutionary Impressionist style of painting spread out, influencing a whole new generation of artists. Artists like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rousseau and Cezanne, among others, took a small step away from Impressionism and influenced whole new movements of art.

Jumpin’ Juba
Hand-made music, presented live and in real time. In the words of Steve Hurl, the band’s leader, Jumpin’ Juba is New Orleans swamp-rock, classic boogie-woogie, folk, Memphis rock & roll, and a playful use of everything from calypso to country stirred into the one blue stew. If you haven’t heard them yet at Southgate, what are you waiting for?

Genealogy Lecture
Join us this afternoon for a lecture/discussion on how to start researching your family history (genealogy), and what the next steps are, including Internet searching. The session is designed especially for newbies, but will also be a good “refresher” for folks who have already done some work on their family history. Some helpful handouts will be provided. Presented by George C. Brown, M.S. in L.S., retired assistant director and head of adult services at the Shrewsbury Public Library, where he started a genealogy club nearly 2 decades ago.
