Together again, Judy DiFilippo and I are co-chairing the annual In the Mood fundraiser for Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust. All proceeds from the fundraiser go toward the rebuilding of the Jones Log Barn as living history museum at DuPortail to be enjoyed by the entire community. The Trust is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization and donations are tax-deductible as the law permits.

This year’s theme for In the Mood – Bluegrass, Blue Jeans and Bar-B-Que and will feature live bluegrass music by popular York musicians Walt Crider & Old Time Way Band. The event starts at 7 PM next Saturday, June 20 at the barn at Sycamore Hill in Malvern and will keep going until the beer runs out or the sun comes up! Ticket price is $60 and includes plenty of southern style finger-licking barbecue with all the trimmings, gourmet desserts, cold beer and wine and refreshing lemonade. Wear your cowboy boots and bring your cowboy hat and come prepared for some down-home good fun and loads of laughter with your friends.

I would encourage all our local residents to support the Trust and its mission.
