This just into the BHB Newsroom: The super-fantastic music show for kids 0-4, Mil’s Trills, returns to Vineapple [71 Pineapple Street] Wednesday (6/6) at 10am.

No need for advance tickets, just show up at Vineapple. Bring a blanket for your child to sit on and some shakers so they can play along. There’s a $15 suggested donation.
