�Nature Rules�: Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition

The work of Alfred Sculpture Professor Coral Lambert is featured in "Nature Rules," an exhibition of outdoor sculpture curated by the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition on Governors Island, located between Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Governors Island is a great place if you are visiting the city to escape for a stroll and have some ice cream. So if you are down in New York City stop on over and check out the art.

The show will be ongoing through October.

Town Theatre of Short Tract: 'Titanic Trio' Friday, Aug. 20 and Saturday, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

Performed by the Town Theatre of Short Tract Nancy Howe Auditorium

David A. Howe Public Library 155 N. Main St., Wellsville 585.593.3410

Friday, 8/20 at 7 p.m., Tickets Adults $6, Children $5 Saturday, 8/21 at 7 p.m., Tickets Adults $6, Children $5

"Titanic Trio," written and directed by Dawn Bennett, centers on two elderly ladies and a middle-aged hypochondriac (the Flatt River Bridge Team) who decide to take a cruise in the Caribbean, and end up in international intrigue, comedy, and the Pro-Bowl football team. Add a tweak of romance and a whole lot of sage (aged) advice, and the laughs keep coming.

Enjoy live theater at the Nancy Howe Auditorium. Tickets are available at the library, from cast members, the Fillmore Pharmacy, and at the door.

Alfred Community Dessert Social

Alfred Dessert Social Welcomes New and Old, Commuters and Residents

The Alfred Alive committee is sponsoring a dessert social and ping pong regatta for the Alfred community on Monday, Aug. 16th at 7 p.m. at the Village Bandstand.

The event is intended to welcome new residents and those commuting into our town while also serving to connect all residents with the community. Participants are invited to bring a dessert-to-pass but it is certainly not required as sweets are usually in abundance.

Local businesses and organizations are invited to create informational tables at no cost (just bring your own table) to share their opportunities and services with our community members.

The Ping Pong Regatta will award gift certificates to the person whose ping pong ball navigates through the mighty Kanakadea Creek the fastest. Free Ping Pong Balls can be picked up at participating businesses.

Questions can be directed to Mandy Burns at Alfred Alive [email protected] . Submitted by: Deborah Clark

Family Movie Matinee: 'Cinderella' (1950) Thursday, Aug. 19 at 2 p.m.

Nancy Howe Auditorium at the David A. Howe Public Library, 155 N. Main St., Wellsville

One of Disney's best animated fairy tales tells the story of a lovely young woman, a stepmother, wicked stepsisters, a handsome prince, a lost shoe, and the fairy godmother. Good triumphs! Enjoy this classic in the cool and comfortable Nancy Howe Auditorium.

The movie will follow the Fancy Nancy Tea Party at 1 p.m. on the Library Terrace. Pre-registration is necessary for the party only. Space is limited. Come to the Children's Section for more party details and to sign up.
