This will be Conkling Hall's Fourth Annual Summer Social! What started as a way to reconnect with friends and also meet new neighbors after the pandemic has become an annual celebration of our community.
Join the party as we celebrate the beginning of summer on the lawn with some of our favorite musical performers. If it turns out to be a rainy day, we’ll move into the Hall to have a great time!
