WAWOTA - Wawota was treated to a variety of musical entertainment this past week. Nicki Ford and Jaime Finlay and the Grade 11s and 12s put on Mamma Mia on May 30. I attended and it was truly remarkable, full of great singing and acting. The following evening, the Grade 8s presented Frozen. From all reports another great production.
To finish off the week, Nicki presented her annual Hints of Harmony show on June 4. We are so very lucky to have all of this musical talent in our town.
