You’ll find a little burlesque, a dose of rockabilly and some good old community fun in the upcoming summer schedule here in the mountains. True to mountain standards and the season, these events are all casual affairs that only require a mindset for fun. Here are four to put on the calendar. The Vivants Concert.
