Press Staff Writer

        The last Verandah Concert of the season, at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, set for Wednesday, Sept. 15, will feature the Cottonwood Jam String Band, who will play on the verandah of the historic Hayes Home from 7-8 p.m. This concert was rescheduled from earlier in the summer due to rain.
        Bringing together musicians from the greater Toledo area, the band plays a blend of traditional old-time Appalachian, folk and dance music.
        Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating on the expansive lawn. Admission is free.
        The evening begins with an ice cream social at 6:30 p.m. Donations are accepted for the ice cream.
        Those who are not vaccinated for COVID-19 are asked to wear a face covering when physical distancing cannot be maintained.
        Verandah Concerts are sponsored by Fremont Federal Credit Union with additional funding by ProMedica Memorial Hospital.
        In the event of inclement weather, the concert may be canceled. For updates, visit rbhayes.org or call 800-998-7737.
