Youth Karaoke Night at the Parker Pizza Hut, TONIGHT – 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Many teens said they wanted/needed a place to go… other than a church. So because our group hosts karaoke, I’m hoping our various friends will help spread the word. Youth karaoke at the Parker Pizza Hut on the third Thursday of each month. Open to all. 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

No pressure to sing, just come and enjoy a laid back evening. CASC (Council of Arts, Science and Culture) hosts this each month. Teens – bring your friends and just hang out.
