Folk, gospel, bluegrass and children's songs will be featured at a community sing-a-long at East Norway Lake Lutheran Church (ENLLC) in rural New London on Saturday, October 12 at 4 p.m. The event is FREE and people of all ages are welcome.
This event is designed to build community and a common repertoire of favorite songs such as "Puff, the Magic Dragon," "If I Had a Hammer," "I'll Fly Away," "Old McDonald" and "My Grandfather's Clock."
Music leaders include Dempsey Schroeder, Maggie Harp and Joyce Rudningen. Instrumental support will include double bass, mandolin, guitar, ukuleles and banjoleles. The event is sponsored by Sunburg Community Music and the church women of ENLLC. Homemade soups and breads will be featured at a 5:30 p.m. dinner following the event. Free-will donations at the dinner will go to the fellowship hall carpet replacement fund.
Sunburg Community Music is sponsoring a workshop earlier in the day at Hope Lutheran Church in Sunburg to prepare for the event. Introductory double bass, guitar, mandolin and ukulele will be taught by music leaders. The workshop is free and instruments are provided. Pre-registration is required. Contact Darlene Schroeder via email, 3dschroeder@gmail.com or text, 320 212 2050. The workshop is funded with a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council made possible by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
