THE SONGS COME TO COVINGTON
The World Choir Games friendship concerts are popping up all over Greater Cincinnati and Covington is a big beneficiary of the international singing talent this weekend. On Saturday, two concerts in Devou Park, one at the Children's Home campus and another at the Bandshell, attracted good crowds in unreasonable heat. On Sunday, choirs perform in Mainstrasse Village, first in the afternoon at 4:00PM at the Goose Girl Fountain and then at 7:30PM at Mother of God Church.
