Shape note singing on Saturday June 17. All Gold Hill residents and friends are invited to an afternoon of shape note singing at Paul Landskroener’s & Marybeth Neal’s home, 629 Dixon Rd on Saturday, on June 17

Singing will commence at 1 pm with a half hour of instruction, followed by singing until 4 pm, with a break for refreshments midway.  This is a participatory activity. No auditions, rehearsals, or performances are involved. Anyone who loves to sing is welcome. Instruction and support will be provided. Singers from the Boulder-Denver shape note community will join us and all Gold Hill area people are invited.
