ESPERANCE – The Landis Arboretum will continue its series of summer drum circles on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, led by local musician Art Teale.

The next session is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Peace Garden Pavilion at Landis, on Lape Road in Esperance. The final sessions of the season will be held on Aug. 20, and Sept. 3 and 17.

The event, sponsored by Nick Zabawsky, is open to both seasoned drummers and newcomers for what is described as a "fun and relaxing experience."

Participants are encouraged to bring a drum or other rhythm instrument, a chair or blanket, water, and insect repellent.

The drum circles are free and open to everyone, though donations are gratefully accepted to help maintain the Peace Garden.
