September… the end of the summer season. The Last West End Bocce is on Friday, September 16th- that’s when we take the group photo so plan to show up early. The last West End Summer Movie night is on Friday, September 9th. The movie will be “Spirited Away”. On the other hand- The Great West End and Railroad Square Handcar Regatta and all the surrounding events will be at the end of the month. So it’s all good.

September 2nd, Friday- Avery Risling-Sholl & Ken Risling– West Enders Avery Risling-Sholl, vocalist and fiddler extraordinaire, will be joined Ken Risling once again in the hallowed halls of Aroma Roasters.
Those who follow him know Avery has been studying traditional Scottish music at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. He is back stateside for a brief stay, and wants to play in his home neighborhood. Songwriter Ken Risling (“Dad”) leaps with joy at another chance to team up with his son for an evening of melody, harmony, and singing strings. Other musical friends may show up as well. Join them for an evening of fun, music (and maybe a few tears). Location: Aroma Roasters 95 Fifth St  Time: 8:00 PM
