Really good performance by the NH Glee Club (backed by a rock band) this evening. Decent crowd, despite the chilly weather.
These performances have been organized by John Rice for the past several years. They have always been great, but they just keep getting better and better with each passing year.
Summer in the Highlands is one of the best things about summer in Newton!
