NORWICH – The Bruce Beadle Band will be playing from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday at the VFW in Norwich. The event, held to promote the United Way’s 2006 campaign season, is open to the public. Tickets will be $5 at the door, or two for $8 in advance. Advance sale tickets are available at NBT Bank, Partner’s Trust Bank, The YMCA and Manpower.

This event is one of the community kick off events being held throughout the county. The Norwich Township Committee, consisting of members Terri Slater, Mary Ann Scheer, Joanne Sykes and Kelly Collins-Colosi, put the event together.

“It will be a great night with Bruce Beadle,” Slater said. “We want the public to come.”
