This Friday Night Free Concert at 7 p.m. will feature the St. Martin Academy Singers, according to event coordinator Ralph Carlson. “There will be a short open-mike time as well for walk-ons.”

“The St. Martin Academy group will have a mix of folk music, classic country, pop and gospel,” Carlson said. “The school year ending, the St. Martin youth will be returning to their homes in various states so we got them before they leave for the summer. In addition, there may be bagpipe music. They have been a really popular group and it is a pleasure to get these young men back.”

The venue, Heritage Pavilion, is located at Main and First Street in downtown Fort Scott.

“We expect good weather and a good turnout so bring your lawn chairs as seating is limited,” he said.
