Cincinnati East Displays Variety

Cincinnati East, Ohio, hosted its annual variety show March 18. The evening began with a wonderful potluck, including a dessert table filled with a variety of desserts to sample.

A special activity was added this year. A teen arts and crafts exhibit gave the teens an opportunity to showcase their handiwork. There were 11 teens participating, with a total of 25 entries. After viewing the art display, it was time to sit down and get comfortable for a wonderful variety show.

Ed Smith once again emceed the evening. The show kicked off with a vocal solo done by Dave Evans, "Go There With You." Then "New Orleans Jazz" was played on the piano by Garrett Fenchel. Such skits as "The Silly Walk," "Secret Agent Man" and "It's My Party" kept us in stitches.

There were several dance numbers, more vocals, piano solos, instrumental duets, guitar and banjo music and much more. Dave Evans and his daughter, Briana, performed the full version of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," which few had heard before.

When the evening was over, we had heard 26 different acts. The congregation presented Ed and Angie Smith with a bouquet of flowers for all their work in putting the show together.
