Once again, Dr. David Frasz served as the Master of Ceremonies and Rhonda Kirkpatrick did a great job as Theatre Director. The students of The Learning Tree are always a big hit with their dance and the Parade of Sponsors. Entertainers included the Heartwise Dancers, JamBuie Drummers, two one-act plays, "Tradition" sung by the Slightly Off Center Players and two songs by Sugar Snap. Tom Lyford told a cautionary tale, while Pine Tree Hospice Volunteer, Karen Dow, performed a liturgical dance and signed to the song, "I Can Only Imagine." Thre was even a surprise visit from Elvis!
