Oh, my. We have a lot of music in this area this weekend, including the 20th anniversary edition of the Billtown Blues Festival on Sunday starting at noon at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville. I have another obligation, so I won’t be there, but there is a great line-up of acts. Advance tickets are still on sale at Page after page, in Lewisburg, and Cumberland Truck Parts, in Milton, at $18. On Sunday, at the gate, tickets are $23.
