Young artists perform

A number of young musicians from the three Van Wert County schools had the chance to perform in front of a hometown crowd Sunday afternoon as part of the 12th annual Young Artists Recital held in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church in Van Wert. Here members of the Lincolnview Mixed Vocal Ensemble (Lainie Jones, Makenzie Kraft, Madison Jones, Morgan Dougal, Braxton Matthews, Skyler Whitaker and Jacob Gibson) perform an arrangement of the Irish standard, “Danny Boy.” (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
