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.

Mail carriers to collect food Saturday
MOSES LAKE — Mail carriers in Moses Lake will collect food for the Moses Lake Food Bank Saturday, part of the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. “(We’re asking) for a small donation of non-perishable food by your mailbox,” said carrier Michelle Schmidt, who’s coordinating the drive this year for Moses Lake. “And then on Saturday when we’re delivering, we’ll be picking up the food as we go along our route.” Schmidt suggested marking the food donation clearly, so carriers don’t pick up someone’s delivery order from a store. Anyone wanting more information can ask their mail carrier. The drive, put on by the National Association of Letter Carriers the second Saturday in May, has been going on since 1993, according to the NALC’s website.
NCWJLS kicks off livestock show season
MOSES LAKE — Young animal growers started the season March 19-21 at the North Central Washington Junior Livestock, held at the Grant County Fairgrounds in Moses Lake. “We are the first (show) of the year,” said Michelle Farrer, show manager for the NCWJLS. “So we’re the first opportunity for kids to get their animals in the show ring and work those jitters out and practice for larger shows around the area, including county shows.” The sale is a three-day affair, Farrer said. The exhibitors weigh in Thursday afternoon, show their animals all day Friday, and then they’re judged on Saturday morning. Also Saturday morning is a meat judging contest, Farrer said.
Vanderhoff named Apple Blossom Citizen of the Year
WENATCHEE — Delbert Vanderhoff of Wenatchee had no idea he’d been named the 2026 Apple Blossom Citizen of the Year. “I can’t believe they did that,” Vanderhoff said. “I’ve always told my kids, ‘This is a small town. I know everybody. You can probably do things, but you need to understand that I will find out.’ When Darci (Christopherson) came in and surprised me, I said, ‘I can’t believe you kept it a secret.’” Christopherson, the Apple Blossom Festival coordinator, said Vanderhoff was selected by a board made up of past winners, who look for things like community involvement, commitment to furthering the industry and mentoring the next generation of growers. “(Vanderhoff) has been in the business since he graduated high school,” Christopherson said. “He’s very passionate about it.
