[Peace-discuss] Whirlwind Project (music, stories, ... of many faiths and traditions) at 1:00-3:30pm today -- Chautauqua main stage, Crystal Lake Park

[Stuart Levy]

The Chautauqua presentations are being held in big white tents
on the eastern side of the park, a little north of (just across the
bridge from) the Crystal Lake Park boathouse.

Here's one of interest to many of us, I hope:

The Whirlwind Project  Sunday 10/14  1:00pm
    ... gathers people of many faiths and tradiitons to explore sacred
    stories through music, dialogue and the arts, fostering mutual respect
    and understanding in our community.
