Stephens City Firemen Benefit Draws Crowded House
The Stephens City firemen benefit drew a full house at the Brethren Church with many unable to see the show. A third performance may be added as demand remains high. Mrs. Steele headed the committee and announced tickets may sell out again. The event featured wedding guests and notable attendees from Winchester and beyond, with Rev. Julian Owens and local performers delivering a lively program. A repeat show is planned in Stephens City the following week after the student event in Winchester.
