An area-wide chorus has been rehearsing under the direction of Merlin Bartz with accompanists Margaret Krumm, Mary Wendt and Ryan Hulshizer. They are preparing to share sing-along school songs, oldies, spiritual favorites and patriotic selections.

Children and teens from the St. Ansgar, Northwood-Kensett and Central Springs school districts will be performing vocal, instrumental, dance and speech performances. Refreshments will follow the show.
