St. Regis residents were treated to an evening of music and dinner on April 26, thanks to the school’s music department.
Music teacher Derek Larson accompanied several students on the piano as they sang songs to a roomful of diners as they enjoyed a dish of pork loin prepared by the St. Regis School cooks, Dawn Palmer and Buffy Cheesman and on April 27, diners enjoyed Prim Rib.
During the evening’s entertainment, McKenzie Stortz started the show when she sang, “When We Were Young”. Followed by Ian Farris who sang a Johnny Cash favorite, “Ring of Fire” and encouraged the audience to sing-along.
