The Paramount Country Club in New City, on the Rockland County side of District 17, turned out to be an appropriate venue for Mike Lawler’s surprisingly robust victory over Mondaire Jones.

King– Building on a celebrated jam band Thanksgiving residency tradition dating back to Phish in the early 1990s, Dogs in a Pile will play the first of two consecutive nights at The Capitol Theatre on Black Friday. “This will be our first time headlining The Cap.
