MOSES LAKE — Hannah Rose Reyes is set to replace Kate Voss and the Hot Sauce for the Central Basin Community Concert Association’s first show of the season Sept. 26.
Voss was slated to perform that day, according to CBCC Board Member Carla McKean, but had to cancel unexpectedly.
“Kate Voss will not be able to travel this fall with Kate Voss and the Hot Sauce due to complicated birth and emergency C-section,” Voss’ promoter, Live on Stage, wrote in an email to the CBCCC.
Voss will be replaced for the season by Hannah Rose Reyes, McKean said. Reyes, based in Wisconsin, specializes in classic country and Christian music, according to her biography provided by Live on Stage, and plays ukulele bass, melodica and guitar as well as singing with a clear, earthy voice. She’s performed at Summerfest in Milwaukee, which describes itself as the world’s largest music festival, as well as at the U.S. Capitol and Country USA. She’ll be joined by guitarist Jason Goessl and drummer Mike Underwood.
Hannah and the Hot Sauce will take the stage at 7 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Wallenstien Theater, 6989 College Parkway NE, Moses Lake. More information and tickets are available at www.communityconcertsml.com.

Growing fast
Gray Girl Farms nursery springs up near Royal City
ROYAL CITY — It’s one thing to grow and sell flowers. Owning a complete nursery is something else altogether, especially when you have only months to build it. “The learning curve has been really steep,” said Kylie Gray-Eilers. “I just always tell myself that every day is a new day.” Gray-Eilers isn’t a stranger to raising plants; her Gray Girl Farms has sold dahlias for almost eight years, and she holds a Dahlia Days festival every year in October. The dahlia operation was beginning to reach the point where she needed either to scale it back or grow, she said. So when she learned that Robin Prchal, owner of Emerald Desert Nursery in Quincy, was fixing to retire, Gray-Eilers decided it was time to expand.

Institute of Beauty Professionals trains barbers, nail techs and more
MOSES LAKE — It takes a lot of training to make people look their best. “(A license to do) nails is 600 hours (of instruction),” said Institute of Beauty Professionals owner and instructor Nicholas Harle. “Cosmetology is 1,640 hours, barbering is 1,000, hair design is 1,440 and aesthetics is 750.” IBP takes its own private students and also serves the Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center’s cosmetology program, Harle said. Those students spend 2 1/2 hours a day at IBP and earn credits in lab science, technical science, first aid and fine arts, he said. There were 61 CBTECH students at IBP last year, he said, and there are about 25 full-time students.
