Roswell P. Flower Memorial LibraryFree Cheese of the Month Sampling
Enjoy a complimentary tasting from the Potsdam Food Co-op featuring its Cheese of the Month, Meier’s Halloumi. This Mediterranean-style cheese holds its shape when heated, so it grills or pan sears beautifully, staying firm with a pleasantly squeaky, salty bite while developing a crisp exterior. It is made by Daniel Meier Sr., who has been crafting cheese since 2011 using milk from his own cows. He learned his craft in Switzerland before moving to North America in 1990, first to Canada and later to Fort Covington, New York. His cheeses are handcrafted with pure cultures and rBST-free milk, then pasteurized and lab tested. For cooking, preheat a grill or skillet, slice the cheese into thick planks, brush with olive oil, and cook over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until well charred. Serve while hot for the best texture. Suggested pairings and uses include a drizzle of honey or hot honey with sesame, fresh mint and lemon, alongside chilled watermelon or other sweet fruits, tossed warm into salads with chickpeas or arugula, as a hearty stand-in for meat in burgers or wraps, in place of mozzarella for a caprese, or in bowls with rice and beans and fruity salsa, or with couscous, roasted tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, and a Greek-style dressing. A finish of honey with thyme or oregano and a pinch of chili flakes also complements its flavor, making it a versatile choice for warm-weather menus.

The performance leans into story driven writing about travel, love and loss, and the many sides of the human experience.
Valcour Brewing CompanyThe Gibson Brothers

Their catalog includes releases on Sugar Hill and Rounder, and their songs have been recorded by Del McCoury. Their latest album, Darkest Hour, produced by 14-time Grammy winner Jerry Douglas, showcases the duo’s easy shift from Auerbach’s so-called country soul to hard-driving bluegrass, always keeping the spotlight on the writing. The project also features Leigh’s duet with Alison Krauss on I Feel The Same Way As You, a vivid example of their signature harmony. Raised on a dairy farm in northern New York and seasoned by years on the road, Eric and Leigh draw from deep roots and a wide view of life, bringing stories and melodies that feel timeless yet freshly made for the stage.

From aching hooks to explosive percussion, the production is designed to feel like a film, a concert, and a party colliding. Nostalgic nods to eyeliner, side bangs, burned CDs, Myspace-era feelings, and “I’m fine” texts land with extra punch as live drums drive the entire night. Expect sing-alongs, hands-in-the-air moments, and choruses you can feel. Whether these tracks were your soundtrack back then or you discovered them later, this Emo Edition is for anyone who knows a sad song can still save the night. Thunderous drums, big emotions, no apologies.
