The Letcher Legion Auxiliary had their annual Talent Night and Pie Social on Wednesday evening, July 24. A good crowd was in attendance to see and hear the local talent and enjoy pie and ice cream afterwards.
Auxiliary President Sandy Ruml was in charge of the ceremony and always has some interesting stories or jokes to fill in between talents.
Hadley Leigh Moody started it off with two “Name That Tune” songs and then a recording of some of his music. Evelyn Walters recited several  poems, she always finds some really good ones to hold our interest. Susan Dodd of Mt. Vernon sang a song, she has a beautiful voice. Susan is the daughter of Marjean and Alvin Thompson. Scott Morgan sang and played his guitar, his music is relaxing to listen to and very entertaining. Dvonne Hansen played several songs on her harmonica. She is self-taught and does a great job.
A big thank you to Sandi and everyone entertained us with their talent. It was a very enjoyable evening. Also, thank you so much to the auxiliary ladies who made all those great pies! What a way to top off the evening!
