Music soothes the soul!
We are so grateful for our local musicians that come and perform during our event! You craft the vibe for our event; which is no easy task between the heaviness of remembering those we’ve lost while keeping the energy going to uplift hearts!
A great big thank you to our performers! And for the sweet young man who kept adjusting the microphone between speakers-you were a lifesaver!!!
Where words fail, music speaks!
