Sharon Bates, Troy artist and friend/neighbor to the Groffs, will be among those whose work will be displayed. Hers consists of six sculptural forms titled Cluster.

Sunday, July 2, marks the beginning of a photography exhibit by Terra's own Nancy Noble. (The coffeehouse closes at 2 p.m. Sundays.) Her work will be displayed at Samuel's Coffeehouse,258 Alplaus Ave, in Alphaus through the month of July.

After church Sunday afternoon, consider stopping by Troy's River Street for a Lebanese Mahrajan Festival put on by Albaraki Restaurant. Not only will there be delicious Lebanese food, but come enjoy the sights and sounds of belly dancers (maybe you can try it, too!) and other entertainment.

Next Tuesday is the Fourth of July. Which traditions do you observe? BBQ? Fireworks at the Empire State Plaza in Albany? If your answer is the latter, you'll groove this year to The Temptations...
