Second Sound of Music scheduled for Sept. 24 years ago
Sound of Music will echo Sept. 24 through the downtown streets of Peabody. Sarah and Martin Havkamp and Chloe Mais will present vocal selections from the original "Sound of Music." Sonya Koslowsky will be accompanist. Sarah is a sixth grader and Martin is a seventh grader in Peabody schools. Chloe is a freshman at Wichita East. They will be located in front of Peabody Hardware & Lumber.
The Immigrants, a trio of printers emigrated from Pettigrew, Ark., to make Peabody their home, also are versatile musicians. Beth and her twin brothers, Joshua and Jacob, have established a printing business at Peabody museum. They also are willing to show off the large collection of printing equipment housed at the museum.
Bill Krause, longtime Peabody Gazette-Bulletin editor, and the late Bill Jackson of Wichita amassed a collection of items needed in putting out the local paper of yesteryear. Unfortunately the local museum board could not operate the equipment. Now the old presses and other printing needs are in use and can be shown to the public.
The musical side of the trio will be using the penny whistle, viola, and keyboard to bring Irish folk music to the scene. They will be located just south of Peabody Market.
Tickets for the event are available at Carnegie Library basement. Guides will lead small groups of visitors to the various musicians.
Food is available by donation at 4:30 p.m. at Morgan House. Music begins at 5 p.m. with tours every 15-20 minutes.
All proceeds go to Peabody Historical Society for maintenance and improvements of the museum complex.
