The Golden Era of the 20th Century

The 1940s through 1960's hold a special place in American History.  It's the baby boomer era, the space race, television and rock & roll.  This idyllic period has been through modern books, music, movies & TV that pay tribute plus the many classics the originated from that period like Elvis, I Love Lucy  and The Catcher in the Rye.  If you fondly remember the 40's-60's or find that period interesting come to our progrom on Thursday June 24 at 7 pm as local musician Steve Cooper presents highlights of Commericals & TV Theme Songs from TV's Golden Age.   This program will be held in the lower level of the Brookfield Village Hall.  Plus check out the recommendations below.
