Thursday night November 8th, a packed house attended the Holliday Bash concert at the SKYPAC featuring the legendary Ronnie Dunn.  This was part of his,  “Let the Cowboy Rock Tour.”  After being welcomed and thanked for supporting the cause, Ronnie’s opener for the show, BMI artist Bree Black, sang some of her own songs as well as a cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”.

Butler County Area Technical Center has selected (5) students to represent each class for the month of October. Each of these students displays leadership qualities that made them eligible for this award. Congratulations to each one.
