Cancer Assn of Darke County
Gospel Sing set
for Nov. 6
Cancer Association of Darke County will hold their annual Gospel Sing

sharing their message in song during that time.
Admission is free with a freewill offering. Refreshments will be
served along with a bake sale. The public is invited. Proceeds will go
to help local cancer patients.
The Fair Haven Quartet is one of the most dedicated, sincere and
exciting
quartets in gospel music today. Since the beginning of their
music
ministry in 2004 the quartet has traveled extensively to
churches
throughout Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio and established
themselves as
one of the premier gospel quartets in southeast Kentucky.
Their recordings feature a blend of original songs and fresh
arrangements to traditional hymns and gospel classics. The tight
harmony and dynamic, convention-style sound is both refreshing and
uplifting.

Boys, Dick Dale and the Del Tones. “Mean Machine” was his first
song and then a song “ I Loved and Lost.” He
