Not a year goes by that something doesn’t cost more than before, and you find yourself wondering if it’s still worth the price. So we’re pleased to write that the Franklin-Southampton Concert has got its schedule for this upcoming season, and membership fee remains the same.

For a mere $50 — Fifty. F-I-F-T-Y — you can get entry to see five entertaining shows that elsewhere might cost you at least that amount just for one performance. That cost could also be doubled or even tripled if you went out of town and splurged for a meal as well.

Let’s not forget that the ever-generous Camp Foundation also covers the additional visit by the Virginia Symphony, which is free for all.

We anticipate another professional season from the scheduled musicians and singers, the details of which will be announced soon.

Further, you are encouraged to become “a special giver” and receive tickets according to the level of your giving. That can help support the organization devoted to bringing lively and family-friendly culture and fun to Western Tidewater.

With the concert association, why go elsewhere?
