Welcome to the Paradise Community Guilds Events blog!  This is the place where you’ll find out about our upcoming events and concerts as well as post your comments about events you’ve attended at the Norton Buffalo Hall (or “the Buff” as we affectionately call it).  


Well, after several months of planning, our Norton Buffalo Hall Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting and Hall Dedication, along with 2 nights of Dedication Concerts, has come and gone.  If you were there for either or both evenings, I bet you, like all of us here at the Buff, are still looking at each other in amazement and awe.  The speakers shared wonderful stories and memories of their time with Norton.  The music by Roy Rodgers, Carlos Reyes and Friends was the outstanding, up-lifting and get-out-of-your-seats-and-dance kind.  We celebrated a truly unique and inspiring musician and beloved friend to our community.  He is missed, but well-remembered and will continue to influence us and the work we are doing at the Norton Buffalo Hall. 


This event was our first experience with selling out the house in a few short hours, and then adding a show to accommodate some of those who didn’t get tickets for the first night.  If you’ve attended any of our past 490 Cabaret’s you know the caliber of talent we showcase at The Buff.  If you are a new fan, please come back often to see what new events are in the works.


Up next is a House Concert with one of my very favorite performers, Chuck Brodsky.  I hear his music nearly every day played on the music venues I stream at work, as well as at home on local KZFR and KCHO programs.  You can get tickets in advance by going to EventBrite.com and searching Norton Buffalo Hall.  Tickets for most events will also be available at the door, but to make sure you don’t miss out you might want to buy yours in advance.  And if you are unfamiliar with any of the performers we schedule, I encourage you to check them out on You Tube.  You’ll be glad you did.


See you at The Buff!
