HASTINGS, Minn. – The Hastings Concert Association Board of Directors will be hosting a Food and Fund Drive to benefit Hastings Family Service at a concert on March 14 at the Hastings Middle School auditorium. They will be collecting non-perishable food items and personal care items. There will also be a box to collect any cash or check donations (please make checks payable to: Hastings Family Service.) March is Minnesota Food Share month, so all money donations and pounds of food donated will be proportionately matched.

You don’t want to miss this special evening! The Hastings Concert Assocation will present Kathy Kaefer in “Kiss Me Once: Stories from the Homefront” at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 14 at the Hastings Middle School Auditorium.

Kaefer's award-winning show immortalizes the brave men and women of “The Greatest Generation” in a celebration of the songs that inspired them to greatness. Kaefer draws a deeply personal narrative from her own interviews with veterans about their wartime experiences and her own grandmothers about their lives as young women on the homefront. Their stories come alive through her insightful storytelling and some of the greatest songs ever written. Her strong, soothing voice brings to life the emotions of the era with songs like I’ll Be Seeing You, The White Cliffs of Dover, and We’ll Meet Again.

To attend this dynamic performance, non-members can purchase individual tickets at the door for $25. Doors will open at 6 p.m., and seating is on a first-come basis. For more information, see the Hastings Concert Association Facebook page or call 651-437-7318.
