It was a production that warmed the hearts of parents and others in the audience, and a song that could be heard throughout the far reaches of Carpenter Auditorium at Pratt Community College last weekend when 60 children, plus helpers, sang Let It Go as part of their Disney s Frozen Jr. performances June 25 and 26 in Pratt. We practiced very hard on singing, not yelling, all week, said PCC Summer Music Camp Co-Coordinator Misty Beck. But when it came down to it, they just put all they had into that song. They loved it.
Every year, Beck assembles a small village to help put together a 10-day music theatre camp experience, complete with live performances, for area children. This year she was assisted by co-coordinator Leah Patterson and directors Amber Jellison-Harris and Kedric Spurgin.

Pratt s Greenlawn Cemetery was a place where friends and families met to remember loved ones while placing beautiful flowers, patriotic flags and other tokens of memorial this 2021 Memorial Day Weekend.
Pratt native and college student Kedric Spurgin joined his dad James Spurgin and other relatives on Saturday at the graves of his grandfather and great-grandfather who were both war veterans to place service flags in their honor. My grandfather fought in the Vietnam War and my great-grandfather was a WWII veteran, Spurgin said.
Also honoring veterans as well as friends and family members were Lee and Gail Ochs of Overland Park who came home to Pratt to pay their respects on May 29.
