Mr Cantrell reported this was the 112th consecutive semi-annual meeting of the Etowah singing; however, its history goes back approximately 100 years.
We had about 25 singers. The weather was rainy in the morning, and partly cloudy and cool in the afternoon.
Minutes submitted by Jean Allen. (Thanks, Jean!)
