Monthly jam the 1st Thursday of each month at the Willowbrook Restaurant, Mendon, MA from 6-9pm. Come early if you can, the food is very good and reasonably priced. There is a large parking lot, so no problem with parking your cars. The address is 16 Hastings Street (route 16) in Mendon MA. For anyone coming from I495, it is best to not take highway 16 through Milford. That is a hassle at that time of day. Take exit 18 for highway 126 in Bellingham, and head west. Route 126 will turn left in a couple of blocks. Do not turn left. Keep going straight and you will come to a stop light at highway 140 in about 3 miles. Continue straight through this light, and in a few more miles it will take you into Mendon. When you arrive in Mendon there will be a Y. Stay to the right and proceed one block to the stop light at route 16. Make a left at this light, the Willowbrook is just about a block up on your left.
