“The Town We Live In”
On Friday and Saturday nights, July 20th and 21st, a historical farce was presented. The program was an original written by Mildred Mingst, Mary Kay Mostaert, Karla Chapman and Constance Kelly. The cast was 150 community members. A variety of comedy, satire and nostalgia awed and entertained a packed house each night.
The program was a culmination of working together and showing what our small town is all about.
The finale ended it with the theme song, “The Town We Live In.”
