Back for 2022 will be the very popular silent auction with donations from many local businesses and residents. Also returning will be the horseshoe tournament, which kicks off at noon with registration and rule review. The registration fee is $25 per player; half goes to Susan G. Komen and the other half goes toward prizes.

Hot food and cold drinks, as well as ice cream from Schwan’s, will be available to purchase. A family games area will keep kids busy with the new skee ball station, Frisbee golf, corn hole and several other games.

Raffle tickets will also be on sale, with the drawing to be held at 7 p.m.

The previous 17 concerts have raised more than $100,000 in support of Komen’s mission to “Save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.” All proceeds go to the 2022 Komen Vermont More Than Pink Walk, which will be held in Manchester on Oct. 15.
