An Evening of Performance

Friday night's An Evening of Performance was better than ever. This was the third year for this community talent show hosted by the City of Paducah and the Paducah Human Rights Commission. That's The Blood Brothers, above, and they ROCKED the Carson Center, no doubt about it. Patrick Saddler, Roderick Thomas, Joseph Horton III and Alex Walton began performing together in 2004 as a surprise to Pastor Anthony E. Walton. The surprise was such a success, they’ve continued to perform ever since. That's the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Praise Choir — amazing. The Grace Notes, beautiful as ever with their Southern gospel/bluegrass mix. The Zerdali dancers wowed with a little hip action. And the sweet Angels of Praise from First Missionary Baptist Church in Metropolis. There were 17 performers in all — we featured them on iList Paducah. And more photos — these are from Bill Fox — are here. The event is intended to raise awareness for the Human Rights Commission. If you feel like your rights have been violated in any way, please contact Director Stan Beauchamp, 444.8643. And if you're interested in joining the commission, let Stan know. Many thanks to Artisan Kitchen for the intermission desserts, and to the Ambassadors for ushering!
