A free community performance will take place - Thursday, January 30, 2025 at the WRHS Performing Arts Theater at the Community Campus - Hailey, Idaho. 7:00 pm Our program this year is entitled “LITERACY - CREATIVITY”. Our performance tour will address the importance of reading to tell our stories of the past, present and future.
