The Onstage Orange City summer series ends with Arts on Central, Wednesday, August 26 in downtown Orange City.
Local artists entertain on the street & in local businesses: music, theatre, visual arts, puppetry, chalk art, short films, classes, kids’ activities, a live mannequin contest, main stage shows, and lots of food! Artists are many and varied, including musicians Kathy Vaughn and Scott Amsberry — Kat and Dog; Mary Jane Davidson painting on silk; artist Emilee Berry and ventriloquist Lisa Laird. Orange City Arts & Orange City businesses are planning something for everyone from 5 to 9pm.
Chamber merchants will be serving hot dogs and toppings — for a freewill donation for Orange City Arts’ mural project.
The evening ends with the popular Twin Cities a cappella group Six Appeal (shown below), brought back by popular demand. You loved them in 2012!
