Be sure to bring a cooler as there will be items at each farm for purchase.

The Tommy Roberts, Gamble Mill Inn, Bellefonte, Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

The Tommy Roberts are a local roots rock duo out of State College that bring lots of youthful energy to their shows. From what we hear, their music goes well with one of Gamble Mill’s local brews.
