A Piano Duet Carnival was held in the shade under a big Maple tree in the front lawn of piano teacher Ruth Holan in Fontanelle last Tuesday. The piano students who took summer lessons this year worked on a duet which they performed for their family and friends. Some beginner students, with only two to three lessons under their belt, also participated and enjoyed the applause when finished! All the students did a marvelous job!!

“A big thank you to everyone who was able to attend and encourage these young people in their musical talents. We all celebrated with popsicles and Bomb-pops afterwards,” Holan said.
