Festival Entertainment

Simple Faith was among the area groups that provided entertainment at the fifth annual Festival of Choirs USA, near Port Allegany Saturday. Choirs came from as far away as Arcade, N.Y. to compete for cash prizes and earn certificates of merit.  Martha Knight Photo





The rousing finale of the fifth annual Festival of Choirs USA blended members of at least four choirs, as the event drew to a close Saturday evening. The choir of First Baptist Church of Cuba, N.Y. won in its size division, and the United Methodist Church of Smethport was another winner. St. Eulalia, Sawyer Evangelical and Arcade, N.Y. United Methodist Church choirs received certificates of merit, in scoring so tight only nine percentage points separated "top from bottom," according to festival chief Jerry Goochee.  Martha Knight Photo
