Country Church music series moving to Verona

The Country Church music series is moving to the Verona Pentecostal Church this year, said veteran performer Ross Clow of The Old Hims.

For several years now, the popular gospel series has been at the Portland Community Church in Hartington but Clow said with the departure of Rev. John and Marilyn Craig, it was time for a change in venue.

“We very much appreciated the years Marilyn and John opened the church to us,” Clow said.

The new venue, although slightly smaller than Hartington, does offer excellent wheelchair access as well as two stair lifts, that Clow said should allow for refreshments downstairs. The new venue does allow for a more intimate setting and acoustics.

“We just hoped we’ll have enough room,” Clow said. “There is seating for around 120.

“Failing that, come late and stand.”

The first concert is scheduled for Friday, April 20 and will feature Clow’s own The Old Hims and The Matson Family from Arden.

“We’re looking forward to having a good do,” Clow said.
