Heartland Harvest - Sunday, Oct. 18
This will be our first HYC event of the year (replacing AutumnSongs). Rather than a formal concert, this will be a free-admission event for families to spend time together, hear small informances from all the choirs, fundraise for the 26-27 HYC season, and more!
To get in the spirit of the season there will be Trunk or Treating, a Costume Contest, baked goods, dinner, and plenty of games!
Special Guest: Vox Infinitus will be performing at this event. A wonderful male a cappella group in Des Moines!
Where: Westminster Presbyterian Church
When: Sunday, Oct. 18, 1:00-5:00 PM
CANTEMUS PERFORMS @ 1:45 PM (open house style - come when you can, leave when you must!)
Wearing: HYC T-shirts and jeans OR a family-friendly Halloween Costume!
