The 13th annual Drayton Kinsmen Music Festival was held on Easter Monday, March 28 at the Drayton Reformed Church.
Close to 100 competitors played and sang in competitions throughout the day. Along with piano, guitar, violin and vocal solos, many duets competed in the event.
The adjudicators for the day were Mary Lynn Woods and Paul Baron. Both were impressed with the quality of the performances and the amount of young local talent there is in our area.
The competitions saw entrants from the Drayton and Moorefield area as well as Mount Forest, Arthur, Palmerston and as far away as Guelph.
Festival organizers would like to thank all the volunteers who helped to make the festival a success.
“A big thank-you goes out to the generous support of the festival sponsors: especially, the Drayton Kinsmen who take on the bulk of the sponsorship,” officials stated.
Next year’s festival will be Easter Monday, April 17.
