Edmond Town Hall Theater was a gift from Mary Hawley in 1929 to the town in memory of her great grandfather, Judge William Edmond. It is the only $2 movie theater in Connecticut.
Amidon is a folk artist originally from Vermont, the release said. A reviewer wrote of his 2010 album "I See The Sign" that "as a vocalist Amidon is preternaturally calm, and his flat repetition of certain couplets feels mesmeric and mantra-like. He's poised, but never cold, and [this] can play like a gospel record, with all the attendant modes and lessons. These are songs to live by."
