LEWISTON—The “Just Us” Entertainers are reuniting to bring a special holiday reunion concert to the Franco Center at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17. This concert is a fundraiser for the Franco Center. Nel Meservier, spokesperson and keyboard player for the group, said, “The Just Us Entertainers will perform traditional and nontraditional Christmas songs. We like to have fun and we like the audience to have fun.” 

Just Us, organized in 1999, was the first musical group to perform at the Franco Center in the summer of 2000. The Franco Center had taken over ownership of the former St. Mary’s Church building in June 2000. The Just Us group has performed hundreds of concerts in the Lewiston-Auburn, Portland and August areas. Several of their concerts were fundraisers for various veterans organizations. 

The group has included 20 members at times, from musical families representing three generations. This reunion concert will feature Doris Surette, Melissa St. Pierre, Jackie Asselin, Nel Meservier, Rose Fredricks, Norm LaPlante, Sue Caron, Lorraine Giasson, and Debbie Robitaille. 

Ticket prices include fees: Advance  $20 and Door  $25. 

Doors and cash bar open at 1 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in person between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesday, at www.francocenter.org, and 207-689-2000.
