Record stores were the community centers for many cities and towns around the country, especially in the late ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. They were a place where community in the love of music brought people together. Friendships were made and partners in life were found as people shared their interest and love of music.

On Community Day, there will be free refreshments, special one-day deals, live music, and a variety of unique events at Music Millennium. Monday, January 2nd will be the next Community Day and will include the Songwriters’ Circle at 7:00 PM.
