Letter: Fair-goers treated to great Gospel music

The officers of The Gospel Singing Tent want to publically thank all of those who made the 35th year at the Allen County Fair such a success. We had great weather, great attendance, and great Gospel music. Without all of your help and donations, we would never have continued this long!

The 20 churches, 25 individuals, and the 193 businesses totaling 238 donors, provided the most donations in the history of the tent. The more money that is raised allows us to hire “well known national groups” and provide the best Gospel music available. There were many workers who will go unnamed. We want to make known that WLIO and WTGN provided more coverage than we could have ever asked.

— Gene Derringer, Secretary-Treasurer, The Gospel Singing Tent
