When started:  February 2007, with a Musical Variety Show at the Chester Meeting House.  Ken Kitchings was our emcee, and it was a marvelous, four-hour + event with music by The Next Big Thing, Dave Rave & Lauren Agnelli, Lisa Rich & Friends, Hillyn & Frank Natter, Jr., Moving Target, Paul Neri, J.D.
