The recent concert event at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre was fun and successful.

The Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association (AMIA) raised approximately $1,500 to go towards vital maintenance projects at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park and to help keep the park open and available to the public.

The event would not have been possible without the help of many people.

Thank you to the musicians who volunteered their time and talent. These include members of Three Deep, Uncorked, and of course Rita Hosking and her husband Sean Feder and their daughter Kora, who also performed.

Thank you also to the Clear Lake Clikkers who performed at the beginning of the show and to Bill Fredriksson who was the MC for the event.

Thank you to AMIA volunteers: Chelsea Michael, Wanda Harris, Belle Eleen, Mike Bielenberg, Sandy Moura, and Adrienne Karuza. Thanks also to Soper Reese volunteers. Thorn Hill Winery poured wine, donating half of the proceeds to AMIA.

Thank you to Mike and Andrea Adams, Wally Fuller, and all of the Soper Reese folks who helped make this event a success. We are also grateful to Andi Skelton for all of her help.

And, of course, thanks to everyone who came. It was a great evening with wonderful music and good fellowship.

We look forward to continuing to keep our beautiful Anderson Marsh State Historic Park open and to continuing maintaining the precious historical resources there.
