Great musical entertainment on Blaze schedule
One popular group and two new performers will entertain the Blaze of Lights crowd on Saturday in downtown Bluffton. The performance stage is at the corner of Main and Cherry streets.
Once the Blaze parade ends – estimated to end about 6 p.m. – musical entertainment takes the Blaze stage until this year’s “switch hitter” turns on the Ream holiday folk art light display.
Saturday’s entertainment follows:
• Bluffton High School show choir, directed by Kara Zink. This group is a popular Blaze entertainer year after year.
• Elaine Wehri, accordion player. Elaine has performed at the Bluffton arts and crafts show and for several Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce breakfasts. She is also an auctioneer, and helped with the Lions Foundation Dare to Dream fundraiser. She is also a realtor with RealLiving CCR Realtors, Bluffton.
• Jane Sycks, a Bluffton High School graduate. She is a second year master's student at Indiana University Bloomington focusing on Jazz Studies. She received her undergraduate degree from Capital University in Trumpet performance. Eventually, Jane hopes to live in New York City and make a living playing trumpet.
