A Sunday Afternoon of Barbershop Harmony, Ice Cream, and Art

It's August, so it must be time for . . . Americana in August!

What could be more delightful than a summer Sunday afternoon of barbershop harmony and an old-fashioned ice cream social? Come on out and join the fun this Sunday, August 16, from 2 to 5 at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue. The Kalamazoo Barbershop Chorus and its offshoot quartets will provide the sweet sounds of barbershop. Performing Arts Foundation volunteers will be scooping the ice cream--cold, delicious, local Plainwell Ice Cream. And the Center will be exhibiting its new collection of prints of classic American works of art. The Picturing America collection is the result of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the images will be used by Gull Lake teachers at all levels and in all curriculum areas to enrich their classroom teaching. Sunday is the first opportunity for teachers and the community to view the entire collection.

So, come one, come all, and bring the whole family for a festive, all-American afternoon! Suggested donation is $5 per person or $10 per family, all of which benefits the Performing Arts Foundation.
