posted by dorothyp on May 19th, 2008 at 3:04 am

Holy Trinity Church in St. Louis, Missouri will host this year's 43rd Annual SOCA Festival May 30th through June 1st. Karageorge is looking forward to that wonderful weekend of song, dance, and friendship as the date approaches. Last year's concert weekend was made memorable by our guests, the Branko Choir from Nis, Serbia, as they performed with amazing perfection. The CD's from last year's concert in Merrillville will be available at this year's event in St. Louis. Just see Desa Halstead from Karageorge at the festival, or order it here online in Goods & Services for only $25 (3 CD Set) plus $4 S & H.
