A show-stopping vocalist and sharp songwriter, Nick Norman brings humor, heart, southern storytelling, and soulful swagger to the country genre. It’s a sound that began taking shape in his hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, where Nick grew up listening to a soundtrack of home-state heroes — including Edwin McCain and Hootie & the Blowfish — and icons like Stevie Wonder and The Band. He soaked it all up, mixing the rootsy sounds of the FM dial with the awe-inspiring power of the gospel singers he’d hear every Sunday morning at the local church.
A lifelong friend and collaborator of country star Lee Brice, Nick began recording songs as a teenager, working inside a makeshift studio that he constructed with Lee in the pump house of a local church camp. He later moved south to Key West, where he established himself as one of the area’s strongest draws. Even so, it was his newest album that brought him back to Nashville, where Nick recorded a batch of raw, rootsy songs — including several tracks co-written with his childhood friend, Lee — in Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Studio. Produced by Lee Brice, Rob Hatch, and Elisha Hoffman, Nick Norman isn’t just Nick’s strongest effort to date; it’s also the first release on Pump House Records.

Trellising Tomatoes With Glenn Scott Farm
2021-07-07 17:30 - 19:30 | Glenn Scott Farm, 10304 Co Rd 76, Hammondsport, 14840
Join Glenn Scott Farm for our first workshop of the season!
We all grow tomatoes in our gardens because tomatoes fresh off the vine are the best! But how do you manage them? Plop a cage on and hope for the best? That is definitely one method, but they can easily become unruly, disease prone and difficult to harvest with that method.
Come join our farm manager Chelsea Reinhart as she takes you to a couple locations around the farm to give you hands-on lessons on how to trellis tomatoes a few different ways, depending on their variety. The class will start in our large Greenhouse to see one trellising method, then continue to the pavilion to get a glass of wine to bring on the walk down into the vegetable field (wear comfortable shoes!) to see another method.
This is our first growing knowledge class, so please come, learn, enjoy and tell us what you would like to learn more of in the future.
Additional glasses and bottles of wine will be available for purchase following the event!

FAQs
Do I need “good penmanship” to participate in this workshop?

Are there age restrictions?
No, all ages are welcome.  Non alcoholic drinks will be available.
What if I’m left-handed?
No worries, Calligraphy and Hand-Lettering doesn’t discriminate amongst lefties and righties. In fact, past left-handed participants have succeeded at the same pace as their right-handed friends.

The fact that the collection has survived over 100 years and is being preserved to be made available for the next 100 is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Everyone should take the time, make the pilgrimage to the Glenn Curtiss Museum and take it all in.” – Robert R. “Buddy” Macon (Deputy Director; National Naval Aviation Museum).
