150+ year New Year's Eve singing tradition continues and you are invited participate
Will you join for an hour or two with other area folks singing this community's two 150+ year-old songs?
"The traditional New Year's Eve serenading Dec. 31, takes place at Mennonite Memorial Home, and Maple Crest," said Jordan. "We start at 5 p.m. in the lobby of Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 W. Elm St.
"Come 15 minutes early to practice or get acquainted. The Swiss Community Historical Society of Bluffton/Pandora urges all to come, and will provide song sheets, or bring your own," he said.
He adds: If you don't speak the Swiss-German dialect we have phonetic versions for you. And if you can't sing, just hum along! Keep this happy 150 year-old event alive!
For more information, call Richard H. Jordan, work 419/358-6909 or home 419/358-2691; or Judy Kingsley 419/358-2135.
