Board member Vonda Easley states, “I was hoping we would get to have Gold City with us this year. I’ve never seen a disappointed crowd when our area’s quartet steps on the stage.â€
Board member Rob Patz (WPIL Gospel Radio and SGN Scoops Magazine) adds, “Pat Barker will bring his University of Knowledge to the event as well. Church choirs, gospel singers, and just people who love music are encouraged to sign up for the Pat Barker University.
