At a celebration of their 60th anniversary at Garrett’s Brewing on Sunday, Oct. 27, Trumansburg Community Nursery School (TCNS) was awarded the Thomas L. Ferretti Award for Service and Achievement.

This award was established upon the retirement of police chief Tom Feretti to commemorate the establishment of the award in his name. It is planned that the award will be given each year to a person, organization or group that exemplifies the kind of “impact for good” on the community that Feretti’s 42-year service as police chief had.

Conservatory News

On Nov. 16, The Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts will present a screening of the documentary “Dance All Night – The Highwoods String Band Story” (2018), directed by Larry Edelman. In the 1970s, the Highwoods String Band’s unique blend of musical brilliance, exuberance, sparkling wit and eclectic repertoire introduced tens of thousands of delighted listeners to traditional old-time music.

The Grammy-nominated band traveled extensively, playing major folk festivals across the U.S. and touring in Latin America and Europe, and released three albums on Rounder Records. The band also inspired countless other musicians, and its influence on music can still be heard today.

Blending rare performance footage, photographs, sound recordings and interviews, this colorful film aptly captures the spirit of the time and the joy and excitement generated by the band. Following the screening of the film will be a special performance by The Original Fat City Stringband, Mac Benford, Walt Koken and Bob Potts, with special guest Jennifer Cleland. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Tickets available for $10 at the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Conservatory.
