Attendees will learn about musical artist Patsy Cline who famously crossed over from country music to pop. They will also be treated to a performance featuring plenty of Patsy's well known hits as well as some of her lesser own tunes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Folks attending this event rated it 'Great' or 'Very Good.' Participants learn quite a lot about Patsy Cline, who was known for her rich tone, emotionally expressive voice, and her role as a country music pioneer who helped to pave the way for women as headline performers in the Country Music genre. Many books, movies, documentaries, and stage plays chronicle her life and career. All who attended appreciated the opportunity for quality entertainment such as this in rural Minnesota.
