Do you remember when you could get together and talk about the good old days? Or how about talking about the things you remember about Farmington and Unionville? Call up your friends and join us for conversations. 

In this program children ages 3-5 will have the opportunity to explore and create music using their voices, bodies, and percussion instruments. Each week we will learn about music through stories, songs, and crafts.
