Richey wows Warwick Craig Richey performed a concert to a packed house at the Warwick Hall on December 28.

Joe Machney Reporter Craig Richey, film composer, pianist, and singersongwriter from Los Angeles, was warmly welcomed at the Warwick community hall on the evening of December 28. With the New Year but a few days away most of his music he played for the audience was of a Christmas theme, but the lyrics were written in his own hand and not from traditional songs. The evening began with a delicious potluck supper with all kinds of dishes, which is to be pleasantly expected at a potluck. After the meal

was enjoyed and the curtains were lifted, Debra Durrer, event organizer, welcomed the guests and thanked Lil, Troy, Larry and Deserie Ruptash for all they did to make this evening possible. Derek Fox, who runs the Warwick hall, spoke about the restoration project and the age of the hall, as well as the attributes of Taras Shevchenko who was a social activist and a great poet in Ukraine. He said that the purpose of the hall was to maintain the culture of people who were moving to this new country.
