Featured Past Event Highlight

The Arts are celebrated here at Wesley Village. Our Village Singers presented “A Tribute to Richard & Oscar” (Rodgers & Hammerstein), directed by Christine Lyon and accompanied by Pat Arnold. Here is a clip of one of the numbers featuring Harold and Kay Custer. Their rendition of “I Am Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” But listen closely to the lyrics ... “I am sixty, going on seventy.” It's a humorous twist that's sure to bring a smile to your face. Come and see for yourself how the arts bring enjoyment into our daily life.
