Reflections on the Ohio


SEPT. 28 @ VRCFA

The Ohio River has been the Tri-State’s lifeline for over 300 years. In April, the conservation advocacy organization American Rivers labeled it as an endangered river. PWS shares its love of the river and rich history with a unique folk and symphonic music program. We will donate a percentage of proceeds from the concert to heighten awareness of the plight of the Ohio River.
