Art Time with Melody
Playing at the Play!
Join Melody Russell for story time and an improvised play (St. Michael and the Dragon, Courage or Fear!) for children 5-12 years of age.
It is all about St. Michael and the Dragon. St. Michael is said to be the ArchAngel of our times who helps us have freedom, courage and such centered power that he conquers the Dragon with his strong heart and clear vision.
Every Autumn at Harvest time when the ever feared Dragon comes down out of the cave on the mountain when the trees turn red and gold, days grow chilly and darkness comes early and creeps across the land, the people stay inside and lock the doors, close the shutters. The children hide behind their mothers and fathers as the dragon ravages the gardens and rips the pumpkins, pulls up the corn, and tears at the earth with its claws. The Dragon is fierce and scary.....The villagers gather in daylight in their desperation and cry out for Saint Michael to come to their aid!
As evening comes, Saint Michael in his bright red cape with his golden sword rides nobly down the mountainside on his white steed to save the villagers. When he comes to the Dragon he lifts his sword up to the power of the Sun and slowly brings the sword down while staring down the Dragon. There is no violence or blood. The Dragon shudders and shrinks and creeps backwards away, retreating to the cave.
The Villagers rejoice and sing and are safe and thankful! Courage wins over fear.
Come Play at the Play in the new Harrisville Village Community Center on Saturday, October 17th 1-4pm. This is an afternoon "art Class" $25/child. We’ll start with art, the story will be told and then I will ask who wants to play the story? There will be lots of cloth to cover several children who want to be part of the dragon, clothes and dress ups for the villagers. We will have a few cornstalks and sacrificial pumpkins, baskets, "props", something to suggest a hose. lanterns.etc.
From 1:30-2:30 we will dress up, arrange the Scene, props etc. If we have time we can color posters and make tickets. 3pm the play begins and then cider and cookies.

All welcome! Donations at the door, no experience needed, remember how to play!
Chant Church with Gwir and Abhai Raj Llewellyn
Singing in community has long been a practice in faith communities of all kinds. Science has shown that singing literally and figuratively lifts us up, builds immunity and community.
Drawing primarily from the Vedic tradition of Kirtan, we will explore sounds from many traditions starting from bij sounds (single syllables) to mantras to shabads, building complexity and fluency as we go.
Join us in exploring your voice in community with others.
Chant Church is offered the second Sunday of each month. 10-11:30 at Harrisville Community Center.
Gwir and Abhai Raj Llewellyn are Sat Purkh. Each comes from their own 25-year meditation practice and discipline; their paths merged in 2012 and they've been singing together ever since. Their practice incorporates many traditions, but is focused on the play of Sound and Silence. They've published 12 albums of sacred music and live with their menagerie of animals in Southern New Hampshire.

That’s where the AARP HomeFit comes in! Join us as Pam Little from AARP gives a presentation on aging in place.

Doors at 6:30, Show begins at 7pm $15 at door
Pre-sale tickets HERE!
Ben Cosgrove is a traveling composer-performer whose music explores themes of landscape, place, and environment. Described by the Boston Globe as “a sonic plein-air painter… [using] his piano as a paintbrush,” Ben has performed in every U.S. state except for Delaware, collaborated with groups ranging from rock bands to research scientists, contributed music to several radio and film projects (including the recent Ken Burns documentary The American Buffalo), and held residencies and fellowships with institutions including NASA, Acadia National Park, White Mountain National Forest, Isle Royale National Park, Harvard University, Middlebury College, the New England National Scenic Trail, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge, the Connecticut River Museum, and the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology.
Ben's music has been called "beautiful and fascinating" (The Maine Edge), "deeply impressive" (Independent Clauses), and "immediately evocative and fully arresting... brim[ming] with technical mastery and emotional capital" (Seven Days). Yankee Magazine calls his music "quintessentially American, omnivorous, and democratic," and Sound of Boston has described him as "an expert at painting sonic portraits of curious, unexpected places." His latest album, Topograph, a collection of sixteen new pieces inspired by land-shaping processes around the country, was released in January 2026.

Be a Hero—Donate Blood
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, yet only about 3% of age-eligible people donate annually. Since blood cannot be manufactured, hospitals rely entirely on volunteers to provide a steady, 24/7 supply for trauma patients, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and surgeries.
Why Your Donation Matters:
Save Up to 3 Lives: One donation can be separated into red cells, plasma, and platelets, helping multiple patients in need.
Constant Need: Red blood cells only last 42 days, and platelets only five days, requiring a constant flow of new donations.
Community Lifeline: Your donation provides a local, reliable source for emergencies, burn victims, and children with blood disorders.
Simple & Quick: The process takes about one hour, and you get a free mini-physical (checking pulse, blood pressure, and iron levels).
Giving blood is a simple act of kindness that makes an immeasurable difference. Be the reason someone gets a second chance.

Anam Dance: A Celebration of Autumn Equinox
Anam Dance: A Celebration of the Autumn Equinox
Friday, September 18, 2026
7- 8 PM, $15
As the wheel of the year turns and day and night meet in balance, we gather for Anam Dance—soulful movement to honor the Autumn Equinox, the season of gratitude, harvest, and transition.
In the Celtic tradition, this is a threshold time—a moment to pause between the outward energy of summer and the invitation to go inward in the months ahead. It is a time to gather the gifts of the season, offer thanks for what has nourished us, and gently release what no longer serves.
Rooted in the wisdom of the body, Anam Dance invites you into a living relationship with the elements. Feel the steadiness of earth beneath your feet, the flowing grace of water, the transforming power of fire, and the spaciousness of air as it becomes a doorway to presence.
This is not choreography, but a remembering. Through free-form movement, evocative music, and moments of stillness, we awaken the body's innate intelligence that connects us to our collective spirit. Together, we create a space where balance is restored and the next season is welcomed with openness and trust.
Come as you are. Leave grounded, nourished, and deeply connected to yourself.

Concert! Eve Pierce and Gordon Peery!
Musical Revue at the Harrisville Village Community Center!
Join us Sunday September 13th from 3-5pm
Singer Eve Pierce and pianist Gordon Peery team up for a concert featuring songs from films and musicals throughout the ages.
“I grew up on musical theatre,” says Pierce. “ I have a deep love for the art form and the music that’s intrinsic to it.” In addition to being a musical performer, she is the choreographer for Conval High School Theatre’s musicals, and is the founder and director of The Dreamer’s Ensemble, a theatre troupe based in the Monadnock Region.
Peery also credits childhood experiences with his interest in musical theater. He says the songs speak (or sing) for themselves, in terms of energy and entertainment, but what particularly moves him is seeing local theater groups take to the stage. “I’d rather see a local group like the Lion’s club productions, or a high school performance, than a highly-polished show on Broadway” he says, adding that this particular show is being presented to inspire further use of the Harrisville Village Community Center for musical and theatrical productions. “It’s a great space that offers an intimacy that larger venues can’t provide. “
The program is appropriate for all ages, and kids are encouraged to attend. The audience can expect a charming collection of songs from such composers as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Rodges and Hammertstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and more.
HVCC co-director Tara Perry says “We’re thrilled to have this incredibly talented duo of Eve and Gordon performing in our space and to bring exciting music to the community. No doubt you can see how much they love sharing music together and they’ll leave you humming the tunes long after the show ends.”
Chant Church with Gwir and Abhai Raj Llewellyn
Singing in community has long been a practice in faith communities of all kinds. Science has shown that singing literally and figuratively lifts us up, builds immunity and community.
Drawing primarily from the Vedic tradition of Kirtan, we will explore sounds from many traditions starting from bij sounds (single syllables) to mantras to shabads, building complexity and fluency as we go.
Join us in exploring your voice in community with others.
Chant Church is offered the second Sunday of each month. 10-11:30 at Harrisville Community Center.
September 13, 2026
Gwir and Abhai Raj Llewellyn are Sat Purkh. Each comes from their own 25-year meditation practice and discipline; their paths merged in 2012 and they've been singing together ever since. Their practice incorporates many traditions, but is focused on the play of Sound and Silence. They've published 12 albums of sacred music and live with their menagerie of animals in Southern New Hampshire.

Upon arrival, you will be checked in and can settle into a comfortable recliner or folding chair. Your practitioner will conduct a brief consultation at your side before placing needles, primarily on the arms, legs, and head. Since this is a drop-in clinic, patients are treated in the order they arrive.
