Walker Middle School Talent Show, Thursday at 7 p.m.
(Contributors: John & Jen Freeman; editor's fault for not giving better notice)
Thursday night at 7 p.m there will be the last middle school winter ensemble performance at Walker Middle School. They are participating in the school Talent Show. Not completely sure on the admission, but believe it is under $5 dollars and all proceeds are going to a good cause. Please come out and support the new Walker Middle School Program. Thanks, John and Jen Freeman
