The branch will present “A Ragtime Christmas Concert” with free admission by the legendary Fred Lehotay and the Ragtimers, 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, the library announced this week. The concert will give attendees the chance to sing along as the band whisks them back in time for favorites including A Holly Jolly Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Silent Night, Frosty the Snowman and many more songs that light up the season, all in rousing ragtime style.



Saxophonist Fred Lehotay, guitarist Bob Estler, banjoist Tom Rittenhouse and bassist Gary Nokes, all original members of the Ocean County String Band, have lifted audiences with their hand-clapping, toe-tapping music since 1968.
