Billy Shoes Live at the Beehive Saturday 5/9/09 7pm

Celebrate Spring, Mother's Day, Graduation, everything, nothing......

They're back! Come listen to your favorite 5-piece Americana/Folk/Bluegrass band who raises money for food pantries in southern Ohio.
If you haven't heard them before, you're in for a treat. This ensemble is usually an upright bass, percussion, guitar, banjo, harmonica....there are many variations but rumor is all 5 will be here on Saturday.

As always, all proceeds from their performances & CDs (and they have a new one!) are donated to food pantries.

And don't forget, we'll be closed on Mother's Day Sunday 10 May.

So grab your Mom or Grad & stop by for a refreshing beverage and good time!

Poetry Month

Today ends our month-long poetry celebration.

Thanks to all the generous and wonderful presenters & poets in the Beehive community that gave voice to poetry this month.

Both projects explore and examine the many threads of thought and idea expressed in words that weave the complex and brilliant tapestry of our humanity.

Join our Presidential Parade Everyday at NOON!

In honor of President's Day, the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, and the recent inauguration of our new president, we are celebrating for 44 days!

Every day at NOON we hear a local person speak the words of our president. We started on Jan 18th with George Washington and will go until March 2 with Barack Obama. Our readers are from the local community, read for about 10 minutes, and are giving some fascinating background information as well.

We've had participants from all parts of our community including a very articulate and informed middle school student, judges, realators, teachers, writers, a bailiff, bankers, attorneys, retired & active professors, a reverend, a pastor, a doctor, small business owners, students....well as you can see, from all parts of our community.

Here is the entire schedule of readers.
Please join us to hear these speakers bring our presidents to life.
Bring your lunch or grab a coffee & a snack here.
