First Friday in Lancaster at LCDC Headquarters

LCDC's Final First Friday in Lancaster at LCDC headquarters 5:30-8:30 pm - ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL event - our art reception will feature the illustrations of Lancaster County artist, Jim Heston.

Jim's show will be a satirical look at the last seven and a half years in Washington, D.C. The show's title is: "You Must Remember This...the George W. Bush years as seen through the lens of classic Hollywood movies". For this show, Jim will use the unusual technique of sgraffito on scratchboard. All pieces of art will be for sale to benefit the Lancaster County Democrats.

David and Art Miron will be playing a "finely crafted selection of music from the 50’s to the 90’s; from C&W to Rock; from American to Israeli".

The Event will be held in the Underground. The Underground and LCDC Headquarters are located at 53 N. Duke Street, in downtown Lancaster City.
