Excited for the show

A huge thank you to our Homer Youth Musicians season sponsor, Access To Independence of Cortland County, Inc.! Because of their support, every one of our HYM students had access to a musical instrument and music lessons, for free. Cortland Collective Impact Initiatives, parent nonprofit of the Access to Arts Cortland project and Homer Youth Musicians, believes that arts opportunities should be available to all. We are proud to partner with organizations like Access To Independence of Cortland County, Inc. who value accessibility and inclusion.
Come celebrate the Homer Youth Musicians with us at the Homer for the Holidays concert this month. Sunday Dec 21st from 4pm at Center for the Arts of Homer.

πŸŽ€πŸŽ ~ Happy Friday! ~ πŸŽπŸŽ€

It is that time of year again, and even our pets like to celebrate the holidays with us. Just remember to be careful of your decorations because pets, kids, or even people with disabilities can hurt themselves on some decorations.

And for your weekly dose of silliness and a good warning:

Winter is definitely here and so is the snow.

Remember to keep your sidewalks clear if you live near one so that everyone can still navigate safely.
